hmmm, not sure where you been looking butch, but on ebay the most expensive
one i can find right now is $51.
When this topic first came up on the list, the most expensive was $55...so
$70?  Most range from $41 to $48 though for either the VHF or UHF versions
on ebay.

Shipping from hong kong is a bit steep though.
