Default New TPMS Sensors

So after 17 years my right front TPMS Sensor stopped working. The other 3 were still working. I picked up 4 new ones on ebay for $89 total. Discount Tire installed them for $80 out the door and they are working like a charm! Fingers crossed

$89 for 4 sensors? That's stealing them.

That's a great price for the early model ones. Which brand were they?
