New wheels are incoming, so Im trying to put together all the odds and ends for the new setup.

My main question:

Why do I see such a huge variance in the price for 4 TPMS sensors? Rockauto has the TPMS35 sensors for about 20 a piece. 80 total or so.

Most of our popular vendors have them listed for about 200 for the 4 pack.

I found the same on ebay for 55 shipped to me.

They are the TPMS35 sensors, 315mHz.

Am I missing something very obvious, or do I have the right part and the price is just all over the place.

Bonus question:

Does anyone have a link to sensors that have RED CHROME stems? The black rubber is fine, but I would love to get some red chrome ones.

Ford Motorcraft on eBay for 55 shipped for 4 of them.

Same item on vendor site. 120 shipped.

Why such a huge difference?

OEM stuff is usually much more expensive on vendor sites. For example OEM GT grilles can be found on eBay and sites such as newautoparts.com for $50ish but on a vendor site go for $199 there is zero difference in the product however.

I'm ordering mine off either amazon, Rock Auto, or ebay. I have a feeling the vendors on here are probably buying them at near the upper end of the price list themselves and they can't take a loss on them.
