You get what you pay for!  In this case it is probably a "rebuilt" that
is a used starter with  fresh black paint.

There is a good Bosch factory certified rebuilder in Seattle that
charged me about $100 each for both a starter and alternator rebuild,
and he does it right.  Check with Bob at Precision Electric,
425-486-5400.  He rebuilds primarily for the trade, but will work with
anyone who finds him.  I have used his services for over 10 years on my
MGBs too.
