FM selling XR, Pint and GT parts (Alt. title: FM hit their head and had a personality change)

This is already a very weird year.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls:

Either someone I know drugged my water supply or FM is really selling parts for their boards, going all the way back to the XR and all the way to the GT.
They sell a lot of parts you'd expect for them to sell. Gakets, screws, o-rings, covers, and even the wiring harness!Some of it isn't terribly prices. The XR's 6 and 16 pin connectors are both 7 dollars each, and the fender hardware kits for all of the boards are only 7 dollars!
There are some really enticing deals as well. An axle block costs 35 dollars for XR and pint, while the GT is 45. That is actually a really good deal if you wanna build a board from parts or if you wanna replace some broken ones. You don't get the advantages the aftermarket axle blocks provide, but those are at least starting at 100 dollars for the cheapest option.
There are some... questionable deals though. The GT LED PCB is...
55 dollars?!
I mean...
That's a little much, is it not? I'm not an electrical engineer, but that's a lot for some LEDs...The XR cable harness that runs from the controller and into the battery is 80 dollars.
I am unsure of that price..
Most people don't really know how to terminate/use crimping tools to make their own cable harness, and most probably don't want to mess with the wacky wiring.
So if you're in a pinch and you're an absolute go-getter, then I guess it's fine..???However, they've stopped short of selling batteries, controllers, Pint/X or GT/S cables glands, and the old hypercore motor (Which if it was priced right, could probably make it a competitive alternative for the Superflux and Cannon Core.)
I'm happy for this though. I've always wondered until I printed my new controller box where I'd get a replacement controller lid... (For about 40 bucks)
113 volts?! I could lick that!

@loaffette I forgot to mention
No rails
Honestly no biggie since people sent to replace their rails with alternatives down the line, but it's an important note -
another note
Who wants a new bumper for their onewheel?

IT GETS WEIRDER
Apparently they are selling the Pint X battery as well.
They also posted a video on how to swap the GT battery on their YouTube. I haven't been able to watch it or get a better look at FMs website because I'm out in Meeker Colorado doing Mountain Man stuff.https://youtu.be/t7GAFkL5sbI?si=yrpyY9duGX-mAEux

@loaffette i got the email the other day about their Pint batteries. Mine are still doing fine, but i admit i was tempted to get one just as a backup....
