Gear knob OEM-look alternatives

So this is about the closest to an "interiors" section that I could find, hope it's not in the wrong spot!

In my search for a standard OEM gear knob to replace a frankly ugly one, my quote from Mazda was $480 +GST... so now I'm open to knobs that look similar to OEM (have the gears/reverse, ideally) that don't cost such a ludicrous amount.

Anyone sourced any from somewhere other than dealer parts?

Thanks for the responses guys!

Those first eBay ones are unfortunately 5-speed not 6-speed so not much good (I'm trying to prepare the car for sale, don't want some new driver grabbing 6th instead of reverse all the time).

Might give those wreckers a try since I'm still struggling to find anything brand new that's close, and the $500 dealer part is a bit extravagant.

let us know the prices :)

Correction, the second link I provided, you can choose the 6 speed H patten and style etc, look at the auction a bit more, german made stuff is great apart from BMW's

I made the same mistake lol. They actually look rather good I reckon and they come with the leather gear boot as well is a win

I was very impressed with the quality and fit, anyone who wasn't familiar with a stock gear knob would think it was factory, its that good.

Dam, now I'm looking at getting that led gear knob. Is the dear knob and boot once piece or separate?

One peice I think, can't remember though.

From the wrecker is $50 which is very reasonable unless it's absolutely shagged.

And my mistake regarding the eBay item! You're right. That is a pretty decent deal. Now there are a couple of alternatives to getting rimmed by the dealer. Thanks guys!
