These relays are listed on eBay at around $50US. Then you add the usual ripoff "International shipping" at $40 or so, and add in charges for import duty, etc, and the foreign exchange math and you are well over $100CDN. Your used parts guy knows this.

I am shaking my head, because in my Pick n Pull excursions a few years ago, they wanted about $4-$5 for a "large" relay, so I picked one or two of these as spares and to take apart and see how they worked. Guess I should put them on eBay and end up with "free" beer for a month.

I bet your supplier makes regular excursions to the Lower Mainland's self-serve junkyards for these and other parts he can then mark way up, because he and his customers are on an island.
