Shocked at shock prices

I believe my rear shocks are worn out/blown. When I push down on the rear rack it will spring right up. The front comes up nice and smooth. Just happened to notice this on Sundays ride. It has 3440 miles so its time anyways. I looked at cheap cycle parts and the replacement oem rear shocks for 2011 are $90 more (per shock) then the 2012 shocks. I believe 2012 should fit fine but what would make it have such a huge price difference? Anyways, elkas’ are nice but are huge $$$ and not far behind are the works. Any other competative brands out here? Thanks.
