My guess is that a set takes about 1 hour to make, if not less. Add in bolts and miscellaneous, I'm guessing these cost in the $100 range to make. Add in miscellaneous shipping/personnel expenses, maybe it comes to $120.

First to market will get what the market is willing to pay. I'm sure they will go down in price if another manufacturer releases something.
