You think that is bad...try aviation parts. A light bulb can run me anywhere from $20-$40 over what the same bulb would run in an auto parts store. Same thing for switches... Had to replace the spark plugs on the amphib in annual, $260 for the set of 8 plugs. But at least I can take some comfort in knowing that those parts will work and not fail me when I need them most. I take the same approach with the boat. Toys cost money and I would rather pay the money up front to better enjoy what little free time I have when playing.
