That is the price the factory charges for a built one. A homebuilder could only get the price the kit cost . This is the fact of homebuilts, the insecrity of the builders skill and care of construction drives the built price down to kit level or below. The only way to make a "profit" is to have a person who wants an Eagle but does not want to build it pay for the kit and pay you a modest fee for building it. Don't expect to be able to get $40K+ though because you are competing against a factory of professional builders at Christian. Marty
