Here ya go:

I don't usually do people's internet searches for them but I was curious :^)

I think this is a high speed timing belt drive. It is not high accuracy....
but the encoder gives 1 mm resolution.

I can only guess at the price. Thousand or two for the system
I suppose. $300 is a little high but not outrageous. I do not like to bid
more than about .25 on the dollar for ebay motion control stuff due to the
risk. I would guess this is about there
or a little over. $500 or so for the four would be better.
A phone call tommorow will get you a price and much needed more information.

Don't worry I won't bid on this.
