Gene synthesis is around $US 0.30 per base pair right now. So if
your plasmid is only 333bp, then it's possible to make it for $100
today! Although, maybe not since most companies have a minimum order
of like $150 or so.

Here is a chart Rob Carlson published a while back showing the cost of
synthesis over time.
