(ET) Fuses made of silver?

["David Roden" <etpost drmm net>]

The Avco R36 blew a mower motor fuse this past weekend.  Mouser wants 
$9.77 
each plus shipping!  An MDL4 (4 amp) fuse in a 4-pack is 32 cents - almost 
97% less.  Are these fuses made of solid silver or something???  There's 
even an Ebay dealer trying to sell them for $25 each.  Nuts.
