About 12'X18'.I used oak for the box, a battery powered fluorescent light, 1/8' thick birch plywood for the front, and some antique stained glass we had from some old salvaged church windows. Add to that two 4' piano hinges and a set of latches and brass screws and brackets to hold it together.
I think I can get the materials cheaper if I do more of them by ordering them online rather than going to the local stores.

Not too shabby.And I mean that in a good way. Definitely look into the sale price as a function of the replacement cost of your materials. I'm doing stuff right now where I've been diving into a wood pile I'd bought for $50 about ten years ago (probably 150 - 200 bf of oak and poplar), but try to price it as if I was buying it new. Keep in mind the 'art' aspect of it too. You can't just price it according to labor and materials.
Considering the size, I'd have ot say it's a $100 to $150 item.
