The cheapest was to manufacture 1 CD is obviously to pay somebody else 
to do it.

As far as I know, it's impossible to manufacture a CD in your basement. 
You need cleanroom conditions and equipment that can operate at 
literally microscopic tolerances. It's not like you can just buy that 
kind of thing off the shelf. Heck, just buying equipment for moulding 
plastic isn't exactly easy. And then you've got to buy the plastic. 
Sure, somebody somewhere must sell this stuff... good luck finding them!
