That's right. Even though they are KOs, there is a lot of demand for them and go for about US$100.

Best to find the junkiest swoop you can find but with the parts you need. Sometimes auctions pop up for just the beak but they are rare.

Too bad Transrepro is not around anymore, they had repro beaks.
