The OP didn't really give much information on his requirements.  So 
assuming a 10' x 15' shed, on a slab that he already has, with no fancy 
finishes inside...  I'll try to calculate some quantities and estimate 
prices off the top of my head:

400 SF of exterior wall sheathing (12 sheets) x $15 = $180
150 SF of roof sheathing (5 sheets) x $10 = $50
50 wall studs x $2 = $100
110 ft of 2x4 for wall plates and heads = $30
260 ft of 2x6 for roof joists = $130
2 windows + 1 door = ???
nails and anchor bolts = ???
2 squares of shingles = ???
total $490 + ???
