Guys - Take it easy on the youngsters.  Apparently they do not know (or have not seriously thought) about how "products" are "priced".  If they stopped and thought for a moment about the same logic being applied to things like mobile phones or even cars, they will soon realize that the first production model of any car would cost 10s or even 100s of crores, and the first piece of any mobile phone will cost again many many crores. 

Let them think through the fact that costs of "design" and "R&D" are recovered over the lifecycle of a product, and not with the very first piece made.  Alternatively, the first question for them to ask themselves is, what would THEY pay for this, if they put themselves in the shoes of a third party buyer ?  At most the cost of components inside, and a 10% to 25% margin towards "assembling costs" and "profit". 

I hope the sellers are clear now on how "markets" (or "customer mentality") works.  Hope we will see a more realistic price based on this, or the sale being withdrawn.

Seller needs to realise there is no Die hard fan of him who would take anything that the seller sells for any unexplainable price.

Anwar's reply speaks volume. Lets wait to hear from the seller.

 There is  no need  for us to fool you people.  Actually we bought each components  separately and assembled  it. thats why it costs this much . ok.. how much you people are concluding for this tricopter ?

actually we are new to this rcindia... but this is the actual price of our project..

@ADMP - Pls give breakup of parts wrt price.
This will help in understanding the higher cost

this will really help.
I dont really see any problem for the seller to give a price break if he can quote for such a high price.

@ADMP bro
I am building 2 quads along with few spares including all it costed me 15K-18K

Few spares i have:
4 x FC2822 motors
4 x HK ESC
2 x HK board v2.1

Few more still all of these costed within 18k which i am sure. Hence the 70k costing is seriously insane, unless you provide list of materials that you have used.
