Hi,

Sometimes what you want is simply not available ready built, or the kit one
is better/cheaper than ready-made. See:

for some American kits. The radio kit market is doing quite well atm.

electronic kits are similar in that for most, while they may
have the ability to build their own gear, the desire is at least partially
driven by the cost of ownership of whatever gizmo the kit turns into. As
most any gizmo is now readily available at some ridiculously cheap cost, at
least as compared to an equivalent kit, the kits are not in demand.
Yes. There's little or no fascination with building a radio when you can buy
a radio that's cheaper than the kit...
