Default $30,000 pitch links

Currently on Ebay is an add for a couple of pitch links for a Bell 412
helicopter. The add says that the list price for the pair is $30,000!!!!!
With a buy it now price of $8,000. I just finished making a set for my
Safari that had rod ends both lt and rt hand and I doubt that I have $400 in
them even if I pay myself $100/hr for the labor. Are the Bell parts made
from Unobtanium? Are they fabricated in a zero G environment in the Space
Lab?
Why do I have an experimental helicopter instead of a Bell 47?
