Well I just got off the phone with Lee at Skyport... a very nice guy to talk Ercoupes with
 
I will receive tomorrow my extended Baggage compartment $275 includes shipping.  I have no problem paying a reasonable
amount for the STC and the parts, and I am lucky to have a A&P and AI that like to buck the "system" a bit.
 
But that said I will NOT bend over and take it, just because someone thinks they have a monopoly!
 
There are other LEGAL ways to keep our aircraft LEGAL and SAFE.
 
I do not even own a Alon, and should not of put in my .02 worth, but I had this same kind of problem in locating a replacement tail cone for my 1969 AA-1 Yankee... after being quoted well over $400 for a used replacement... I now have a brand new carbon fiber tail cone all signed off and legal and it cost me $40 in the stuff to make it..... go figure....
 
I am also one that does not take no for an answer very well.
