My first rope + rack cost 2/3 retail (mega sale), and I still ended up paying $400. It consisted of:
1) cheap-ass rope (50m no dry treatment)
2) cheapest carabiners available at the time (35x BD ovals and light-Ds)
3) runners
4) 2 sets of BD wires
If you throw shoes, harnes and maybe a bit more/other pro into the mix, it is definitely going to cost more than $500
@cmagee1: keep up the good fight! and build your rack piece by piece. If you're bouldering, I assume you have shoes. Next step, harness + belay device ($50). After that, rope + quickdraws ($150-200). Trad gear can wait awhile...
