    If you are buying it then is might be a bit high. If you are selling a $10 fuse for $2800 then the price is right.

    Then it’s time to start upgrading your system. The fuse ‘price’ is more of an entry level power cord price, and you don’t have to worry about the power cord breaking. :)

    I am wondering what the market is like for used fuses.
    Probably a good way to save $$$ off the MSRP.

    If I could afford to spend almost $3000 on a fuse, I would just put some silver wire in there and take my chances with a future repair.
