GM Dealer quoted me 630.xx list (or something close)...they offered to match GMPARTSDIRECT Price; which I believe was 420.xx 'ish.
My local dealer didn't have one in stock, so I've ended up going through Summit for 389.95. Summit I've found has pretty damn good customer service; however nothing beats being able to deal with someone in person (i.e. dealer, etc).
You might try the Supporting Vendors on this site; see what they are asking, and if they'll match prices.
BTW: all these prices were for a non-vented opti. I've noticed sometimes the prices fluctuate pretty heavily between the non-vented and vented.

Dealing with a "Dealer" is no better than dealing with a hooker. You're gonna get screwed and theres not going to be any discounts.
As for GM Parts Direct, always make sure you consider the total price inlcuding S&H because that is where they nail ya. JMHO

The dealership in my area frequently will sell at wholesale, or at their cost.
Summit lists the Optispark II (Vented) for 309.95, NOT the optispark I. The optispark I is 389.95. This is the non-vented model. The one you will need if you havn't converted your 94 yellow TA is the Optispark I part# ACF-10457702.
Make sure you order the correct model.

That JEGS model looks similar to the Summit brand model.
I thought you were asking specifically about GM optis?
If you want just a replacement opti, there's lots 'n lots of generic cheap'o alternatives...but I wouldn't recommend them. I'm not sure who makes the JEGS or Summit brands. Maybe someone will chime in.
