While I'll agree that $500 is way too much, especially for an older lamp model, one should expect an msrp of between $300 and $450 for a decent front projector lamp. With careful shopping one can sometimes find great discounts, but for a high-end front projector lamp you are paying for more than just a "bulb" (usually a complicated assembly with the lamps themselves constructed of materials that are difficult to work with) and the quartz lamps are constructed to very high standards for upwards of 2000 hours of continuous use.
