I have tried to figure that out for a while. I assume the sellers are people selling something they do not understand and they buyer purchasing something they do not understand. When I restored my plane, most parts came from Univair and most were not priced too high. I think people get trapped into thinking Univair is unreasonable and do not check first. I am sure there are lots of other reasons, but overall they do a good job. I wonder if the yokes are part of the large order Fred Weick talked about in his autobiography. As I recall ERCO placed a large order for yokes (maybe 5,000) that were never used when orders for the airplane suddenly stopped... I am sure what you and I have are new old-stock.
