Well, the incremental cost (ICD2 + PSU + PICDEM2) - (ICD2 + PSU)
is shown at $21 (Digikey), it was less at the Masters, of course.

DV164006-ND - DV164007-ND =
    209 - 188 =
    $21

The 4-layer board is 6.5" x 4.4"
and has:

- 3 switches
- 5 LEDs (one power, 4 controlled by port pins)
- 2.4 x 1.7" proto area, ports all brought out
   beside it (in order!)
- 2 x 16 COG LCD display (non backlit)
- cermet trimpot
- screw machined sockets for 40/28/18 pin DIPS
- 2 regulators
- socketed 4MHz fully size clock oscillator
- MAX232 equivalent
- 24LC256 SEEPROM
- 32kHz crystal
- two regulators, one of which is the 5-pin TO220 TC74A5
- 9 pin serial connector
- RJ11 ICD connector
- PIC18F452 in 40 pin DIP
- 20mm piezo transducer and driver
- 9V battery snap, 2.1mm coaxial power socket, test points,
   bypass caps and other discretes.

(total about 75 parts)

The ICD2 is pretty impressive too- interesting what it uses for the
USB port CPU. ;-)
