I was thinking the same thing. For all the internals in this thing, I think $800 is a pretty fair price. Parts don't just fall out of CNC machines for free at the push of a button. Even after all of the design, and programming, and setups are done for each part, you still need to pay someone to run the machine, put parts in, take parts out, prep stock, deburr, and in the case of something like this you also need to anodize some parts, and assemble everything. Not to mention the cost of running the machine(s) and material. Even if it's a one man operation, someone still has to do everything.
I'm not going to buy one because of the cost, but it's not like he's gouging anyone here.
