Ha! I can imagine. It's crazy how some things can shoot up in price like that when they discontinue it/reduce production. Not entirely related, but I remember a few years back I wanted to buy a couple more sets of silverware for my parents (it was their wedding silverware, but they never ended up getting as many place settings as they wanted). I think for 2 sets I paid more than 8 would have cost at the original price. It was nuts! The worst part was, since it had been discontinued for quite some time, I had to buy used silverware and still paid that much.

Long story short, I hope you never have to repair it, hehe.
