Nope, not highway robbery, simple supply and demand. "They" prolly
sell 100 of those a year, took 2 years to remake them from the
original, $10,000 to build 1000 of them. And then you got guys like
you that do something different and decreases demand.
So $25 for a $15 part?? It's "part" ly your fault
