McMaster wants more for bearings than OEM?

[Prem1x]

I looked up my bearing size on McMaster Carr expecting to get them cheaper

http://www.mcmaster.com/ Part Number: 6153K39 $38.25 Each

and I get them cheaper from OEM!

What bearings? I have found great premium replacements super cheap. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260060240522

thats because yamaha buys a butt load of them. mcmaster probably gets them from someone different and less of them.

Oh, sorry. I guess the BikeBandit link didn't get to the right schematic.

Yes, pump bearings.

I bought 2, shipped for $10 from that eBay link above.

It says those bearings are steel and they have seals on both sides.

The factory bearings are stainless and don't have seals.
