Now, the list price for the part is over $2,500CDN! That's just for one piece. I've got a guy that can get it for me for around $1,500 CDN but that's still more than I paid in 2021 for the whole job! Does anyone know why the price on these things has skyrocketed like this? I know everything is more expensive these days, but, it seems the price on the part has gone up 2.5x in 5 years.
Don't buy new TBAs. Instead buy refurbished units that are better than the OEM part due to upgraded internals.
