Back in 2007 when I did my first board, the only option I could afford was a US fab that had a "33 each" special. You got a 2layer board with HASL finish and had to order 3 of them. So it cost $100.
If you were academic they'd let you order just 1. That's what I did.
I remember being at school eating lunch when my brand new flip phone rings, and it's a sales rep from Advanced Circuits asking me about my estimated annual volume, while my friends where throwing pizza slices at the lunch table.
