I was thinking of putting together some beginner kits for my store later this summer. I'm looking to make them a low price, so I'd include:
Soldering Iron
Solder
Desoldering Ribbon
Multimeter
Wire Stripper
Wire
Looking like all that would sell for around $15 + shipping. I think it's a pretty good price, and I'm pretty sure that that's about it for the basics

I'm assuming these things are really cheap through Digikey?
"cuz the cheapest soldering iorn I have found so far is $10.
Maybe what you could do is sell kits for the 2600 composite mod, or maybe a "grab bag" assortment of stuff like tact switches, pots, and resistors.

Nope, infact, digikey is fairly expensive for most of these parts. Buying in bulk is the only reason I can sell these so cheap

hmm... maybe, but there are so many different parts it'd be kinda hard. LEDs and tact switches wouldn't be bad though.

To bad it isn't auto-ranging. Unfortunately, if it was, you would have to raise the price to about $50.
