By the time I add up materials, hardware, and paint, it looks as though my build cost about $300. And I had most of the tools I needed, so I was able to avoid any major costs there. It was probably about 50 hours of labor altogether. Though I won't be ordering a rack from Gobi, I can understand why they charge what they do. They also work hard to protect their patent, which means lots of legal $
