Bell 47 spares pricing explosion

BELL SPARES PRICE LIST 2008 VERSUS 2009

2008
-----
047-110-250-021 BLADE,MR (HR) EA US$42,640.00

2009
-----
047-110-250-021 BLADE,MR (HR) EA US$179,047.00

ie US$179,047 per blade. 4.2 times the 2008 cost. A 320% increase

Has my 47 gone up in value or just in insurance premiums.
Bell wants us gone. I bet most 47 owners could never afford a current Bell product. Time to part it out perhaps. My blades are half life US$179000 for the pair! (more than I paid for the whole machine

OOW
