So why hasn't anyone come out wth a half-price 496 knock-off?

Should be easy, according to you, and I guarantee you there's a big
market.

Yea, there is a big market I estimate about $90K could produce a really
really good knock off. Then about 1-2 million to get in to mass production.
If I had the capital I would be visiting Hong Kong and gettin it started.
South Korea has some benefits also but workmanship is not as good.
