RE: Low cost turbine............
Made for yes, sold for atleast twice that includeing accessories and some profit too. (assumeing you are talking about a turbine for RC flight)
Jetjoe is a bit under that price, not reliable, Kingtech is a bit over that price and reliable.

RE: Low cost turbine............
Guess that depends on your interpretation of "Reliable" is.
You can hand build a turbine with 316 stainless... but it's going to erode quickly. (Assuming it's balanced and it doesn't eat bearings) BUT... to build a one-off turbine, using Inconel, would be hard to do for $750.
That also depends on what size you want to build... and what equipment you have.

So far the Jetcat is one of the lowest cost turbines you can buy, you may fly a lot with it and still have a good resale price.
Quite reliable too.
