3 speed hub indicator chain , nice story inside about LBS around here!
none of the 9 shops around me carry those, 2 of the places, the mechanics/sellers have never heard about that or sturmey-archer, they didnt even knew about internally geared hubs 
out of the 7 more knowledgeable shops, only one told me they could order the part cause it is not in stock,would take up to 2 weeks to get it and a cost of around 35$ (i can attest the price as he did show me the list in his part book and removed 20% from the price indicated in there)
are these little chain really that expensive and hard to find ?
The worst thing is I only need that part to test a hud if it is in working order (picked a bike with the wrong wheels on it and it is a 3 speed hub/rear wheel that was on there) I want to know if it works as i have a frame an use for those wheels!

Nobody sells an indicator chain for $35. He tried to cheat you.
They're readily available online from many sources and they're always on eBay.
