FSA Carbon Pro Elite Compact from the above link $279.98, plus whatever shipping and handling is. Did not shop for a better price than that, might be one out there.
I have a small account with one distributor, it would cost me $219.00 if I had an order over $350.00 shipping would be free.

In my business a markup on material is at best 15%, the business is not cycle related, so maybe there is not a valid comparison. The above example is about 27% mark up.


I think $60.00 is absurd when it would only take me a minute and a toll free call to order the above part. Even more so when it is most likely that the customer is going to have me install the part, and I get to charge for that labor.
