Lynn: When you buy seals for $5 that are listed for $140, you are not spending money.....you are saving money. The more you buy the more you save.

The same seal is used on just about everything CMP. I think the majority of us on this site know we can't just own one....we must own many.

But what quality can you expect at 5 bucks apiece?!?

I am not worried. Mac's generally does not sell garbage, and I have used plenty of this seal from them in the past.

More likely it is a misprint in price, or an overpurchase. Normally these sell from Mac's at approx. $20 USD each, and slightly higher from others. They are synthetic (rubber) as opposed to the original leather. While I have heard leather is a superior seal, they also chew the heck out of the shaft they ride on.

Got them today, and they are most likely a Chinese made seal, but appear to be fine. They would be a bargain at 4 times the price.

Quite frankly, the Chinese are making just about anything for everybody. Even the old-time USA companies like Owatona tool company (OTC) and Snap on are listing items made offshore.
