Link, take a look at the prices on the components you think you want to use. I cost me about $40 just to buy the components to build a rod on a basicly free blank. Add a reasonable amount per guide for assembly and finishing and the cost climbs pretty quickly.

Rods are not difficult to build. Beautiful rods with decorative butt wraps are.
You can save huge building simple rods youself. Give it a try.
