Full Ceramic Bearings

I've seen bearings similar to this 100+ dollars so why are these so cheap? Anybody think there's anything wrong with them?

Yeah, those are priced individually. Your looking at 239.60 for a full set of 8.

can you clean ceramic bearings the same way as regular bearings?

The solvent will break down the molecular bonding chains of the Silicone Nitride and the ceramic compnents will turn to goop. No, you can't clean it like a normal bearing.

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic, and if he wasn't then he's rather misinformed.
But as for what to avoid, avoid boiling hydrofluoric, nitric and pyrophosphoric acids.
Why you'd put those in your bearings or even have them, I don't know.
