I did say "a relatively modest cost". I have no idea what ridiculous price people charge for such a thing, I just used a figure I estimated would be at the bargain basement end and did the math based on a decent sized collection.
$1200 is a lot of money for most people. $4800 is, too. People here spend that much on stupider things though so who knows. Maybe you think $1200 is quite reasonable.
Given that it would be illegal to do it, you can't expect to pay the standard price anyway.
