I have noticed the same trend out of China as well!
   I have 4 china hit and miss horizontal engines simular to the M90 but all slightly diffent, I bargain shopped, but all my engines cost me less than $150 pre Covid and I scored 1 at less than $100...now your lucky to find one for $250 and many are asking up to $500! That's some serous inflation!

I bought this little Stirling engine that I posted in the videos. I called it a cheap little toy.
It was when I bought it.
