Hey guys, Just out of curiosity? why are the prices in the timing belt kit so different? I found genuine toyota part a lot cheaper than OE spec.

Just the way the cookie crumbles mate.
Ebay is not always the cheapest route on so many things.
On something as critical as a timing belt I would get Genuine parts.
