Yes it does seen expensive, Warn does not make or support parts for these any more. Seem like support ended in the mid to late 70s for the 82 series. If some one is building or restoring a period piece then this just might be the ticket for them. That still does not excuse the grammar and profanity from the original poster. Everyone has their idea of what something is worth and there are some dreamers that think that their junk is polished treasure to someone else. They can ask what they want but self bumping to the top might show that the price is out of line.
Here is a link to Amazon for a brand new 8,000lb winch delivered for $477. but it might now be what you want.
