This is true but by time you pay for parts and labor for the build, it may cheaper just to buy new wheels. I actually learned to build wheels myself because I damaged a rim and could not abide throwing away a perfectly good hub. But my LBS would have charged me more for the rebuild than new wheels built using the same components (machine built wheels).
