That is a lot. $100 would be more like it, but have seen them go for more. There is a market for them though. Make some.

Well I told you to make some.....and you do awesome work.

I have seen the sell for WAY more than that.

$100 is a steal.

I paid $200 plus shipping from TN to CA. Shipping was a killer... large dimensions, odd size, and relatively heavy.

What... I shipped one, not in a box and with bubble pop on the corners of the 4 mount tabs with a Fed X tag tied to it for $30 from Mo to Az. Maybe it was the distance?

If i were to make any it would be from chromoly tubing not mild steel like factory ones, moly is much lighter and much stronger. Its primarily used in drag racing chassis and aviation.
