I figure this is a good community question to ask because I don't have any real world data and I'm curious about our members opinions since we have a breathtaking amount of knowledge & skill here that spans a large number of industries.

I can get real SKF bearings from a real Authorized Distributor at decent to very good prices because I approached them as a business.

What kind of markup do think is appropriate for a SKF bearing that is exactly like OEM (but better quality) and works exactly like it should.

The make application in question is partly a secret, but please keep in mind the bearings from the company have been NLA for over 30 years because it folded and there is big customer base.

^ Also applies to NLA Porsche 914/6 & 914 NLA steering bearings.

I can tell you this is for crankshafts, gearboxs (transmissions) and wheels. Then soon to steering and shocks.
