eBay is full of car part chancers who do no research into the actual value of an object, they are just hoping to catch out the gullible.

That is unusual for Vauxhall Superstore.
Can't really say that they are your "usual" chancers.

I have bought a few bits from them at a reasonable price.

Very disappointing as they should know better.

GPS do a genuine one for £45.
OEM ones for as litte as £13.

Could it possibly be similar to auction site sellers ?
If it's out of stock, rather than pulling the ad, they add a 1 at the beginning to deter buyers till it's available

To be honest, if you put in the normal part numbers, then it looks like nobody has any, so they look a lot harder to get hold of.

The rules of supply and demand means that they could charge more for a hard to obtain part.

The part number I posted isn't listed for Cavalier... except in the fine print, where it states "no longer available, use number 9181010".

Known part numbers are -
90228194 replaced by -
90508667 replaced by the number above.
