So I just ordered a passle of Viton O-rings through my shop along with a few other parts. 60 o-rings in various sizes (I wanted to have a good stash of spares) a couple of soft seats a couple of exhaust valves and a diaphragm. Total cost: $140+.
I didn't have the prices when I made the order (special Trident order through my LDS) and I just went ahead and ordered everything understanding the shop would put the order in and then give me a final price. Now, that might be stupid on my part but I generally trust and like this shop. I was afraid I might get a serious markup on the gear but I was more concerned about getting it ordered and delivered locally and I like using the shop when it's reasonable to do so.
I'm thinking this situation might not have been reasonable, however. That said, I have no idea how much Viton O-rings generally run but I can't imagine them being $1 or more each. (I still haven't popped in to get an itemized receipt so that's just an estimate.)
I won't need to buy any more for quite a while but when I do, I'm pretty sure I'll be buying from Mcmaster Carr or some other such place. I just need to figure out the correct part numbers.
How much do you folks pay for viton o-rings?
