Like glassdoctor said, it may be retail markup. If that is true, why pay more? Why not place an order for some stuff here and then go to XYZ no-name shop and get the UBEC for $20? One word: Service. Mike will be there behind his products if there is a problem and we all know that from experience. Can the same be said for XYZ no-name shop? I guess for only $10-$15, it might be worth it to take a chance. Maybe.

Other possibilities for a substantial difference in price elsewhere: other versions are knock-offs, there was a LARGE volume buy, a defective batch was created and someone bought them and weeded out working ones, etc.
