Good, lasting silent pumps tend to cost much more.
It costs them little to make quantity. OEM order will be in the (10s of?) thousands. If they went retail they would probably be around $75US.

They better have a good process for those pumps though. If they are going in OEM machines reliability is a must. Also the pumps are probably pretty low flow which makes the parts last longer so not as hard to make as a high flow pump we are used to using. I would bet it costs them less than $5US to make their pump.
