i thought you had asked for options outside of CK price bracket. C-bear is similar, outrageously expensive for what you get
Glws-
Their bottom brackets never failed on me (I have several) and rate them. Even after years of commute, they still work without any maintenance. Unlike the standard sram gxp bottom brackets which fail within a couple of months usually.
Don’t know where you have seen them, I paid definitely less than 50% of a CK bottom bracket.

I think C-Bear is quite a bit cheaper - about £90 atm
https://www.c-bear.com/en/products/bottom-bracket/bsa-ita-sram-gxpI've heard the Sram ones are good for a few thousand kms but I reckon it's possible to get fit-and-forget BBs for around the £100 mark. There was a ceramic bearings C-Bear somewhere for £160, but ceramic is always expensive.
A brand new ThreadFit is about £190-200 from what I can find online.
You could probably get one secondhand for half that but this is a new-only build because that's basically the deal with buying a Saffron.

Good call... never heard of C-Bear before but they get great reviews... and if they're good enough for Lotto Soudal, they're good enough for me
