In the example at blog.circuithub.com there is a link called "here 
<https://circuithub.com/projects/andrew/USBIR>" and if you click that 
you can see what the cost is for the example shown. If you want one it 
costs $456.85. At quantity 100 they're $23.91. If you click on "quote 
breakdown" you see that comes out to $3.10 for the board, $8.46 for the 
parts, and $11.95 for assembly with a one time charge for extra parts to 
deal with wastage. The setup charge is around $400.

If you're thinking "how could this be mentioned in the same breath as 
OSH Park?" well, uh, I'm thinking the same thing and regret that 
association. It would of course be insane to submit a design to this 
place that wasn't worked out in every detail (you'd have built *exactly* 
the same board in small quantities and tested the heck out of it.)
