A few months ago I was informed that Sensenich occassionally has what they call MRB props for sale (factory seconds, props with minor flaws, still safe with full warranty etc.)
So I proceeded to get a quote from them and was quoted $1707.50 for a 72FM8S9-1(85)....the exact prop I need for my RV and they said they had a MRB available in that model. I was really interested but I really did not need the prop yet so I did not order it at that time. Today I do need the prop and being ready to order, I asked for an updated quote and availability of a MRB unit.
Today the price is $2481.50 for the same exact MRB prop????
Van's new perfect price is only $2135 ???
I questioned these conflicting quotes and was told that the current quote was correct.
Why would somebody purchase this MRB prop for $346.50 more than a new perfect one from Van's?
Is this model prop frequently used on aircraft other than RV's?
