Why do Oxy-acetylene torches and regulators cost so much?

They cost $250 at sears. At Ebay some Chinese version Victor is $100 for torch and regulators.

Why are the prices so high? It’s just basically a brass rod with valves. I can’t believe prices on these torches and regulators never come down.

I am guessing it’s because not enough people buy them anymore. It’s a dying form of welding. They should try and revive the industry by making a cheaper version that everyone could afford. Oxy-Acetylene should be in every metal working garage.
