My character, a kobold fighter, has come up with the idea to start a little trapshop in Sharn. Now he used to lead a large tribe of kobolds, so finding help should be pretty easy. Now I've come to the point where I have to figure out how much this is going to cost. I have the housing, shop and labor figured out BUT.. I can't seem to find how much a trap would cost to build. If I am correct they are incredibly expensive, how could a commoner, or a team of them, ever pay for the materials? Any advise on this?

you ofcourse need the trapmaking craft skill and a fair few ranks in it.

then all the details for making traps are in the DM's guide under the relivent chapter. if your the DM traps are easy and cost can be fudged, if your a player you need to follow the rules at your DM's discretion.
