I dont actually build detectors for sale. I just decided to sell this one to make some space
With the rand/dollar exchange at the moment the kits are very expensive. 31 pounds for the kit(pcb + components) + 7-12 pounds for postage
x that by 23 and its pretty expensive just for the kit.

And then you still have to make the housing, coil, etc. This adds to the cost quite a bit. At least with mine it did
