Why are button presses so expensive? I want to make my own buttons, but the machines are out of my price range. There are some for sale on eBay for $70-80, does anyone have any experience with these?

Because good ones are made from tool steel and the plates are milled from tool steel. If you have a milling machine, go for it.

Have you tried asking your parents to increase your allowance? Maybe mow some lawns to earn the extra cash.
Really joe even with the wife and 3 kids?

you get what you pay for
best compromise, buy a hand one, make a lever on a base to apply the force

jfc a similar setup made for a shop press would be like $200
$70 is not unreasonable, it does look kind of flimsy though.
