There are the Steiners and less reputable aftermarket suppliers that are selling 2 gauge under the same part number for in the $13 range plus shipping cost. JD sells an unknown gauge AT10252 cable for $52 so a price of around $25 to $30 is probably about right. JD owns A&I Parts and they sell the cable for $13 in some unknown gauge.
