Got mine off ebay for $625 shipped with 55K miles on it, replaced myself within 30-minutes and all is well.

Very easy. Instead of separating the upper control arms however, I used a pittman puller to disconnect the tie-rod from the hub and raised the hub with a jack to slip the strut out/in. Seemed easier to me than what they show in the video and worked well.
