When you can buy Shimano cartridge bb for $10 (UN26), there is little incentive for someone to make higher end cups. Buy at least $50 worth of stuff from Jensen USA, and the shipping is free.
New Sugino units can be bought for about $100.
+1 Donor bike can be a good source of Shimano, Sugino and other brand bb cups.

Please don't confuse ebay "asking" prices with "selling" prices. Many sellers never get their ask price. some are far from it. Value is determined once an item actually SELLS. Its easy enough to check SOLD prices.
