I dont know about over your side of the pond, but the only people who pay the full price for bearings over here are people not 'in the know' if you go to a supplier over here, and ask them for a quote, then say and what are you gonnaa knock off that then? They usually realise that you know what your talking about and they almost half the price!!!
Good luck mate.

As coombsy said, bearing are over priced if you go to the wrong place. Industrial suppliers are your best bet. 8) (as already mentioned)
