Brake Booster Valve availability

[Her4Runner]

So I have the intermittent hard brake pedal symptom on my 2000 4R, usually (& fortunately) at low speeds when turning into a parking stall or my driveway. I suspect my brake booster is on its way out, but thought I'd try replacing the brake booster valve 1st; this valve has been the culprit of similar symptoms in other <GM> cars I've owned.

Issue: I'm willing to throw $20-30 at this part, but my local Austin, TX Toyo dealers all want $50+ for it! I've seen others post where they're aquired said part from their dealer for ~$25. Can someone please post up at what dealer they've been so fortunate?

If I can't find a valve for <$30, I'm prob. better off just sourcing an entire brake booster assembly (incl. the valve) from a bone yard for around $100. Thanks in advance!

I'll sell you a complete booster for $50 shipped.

Toyota of Dallas usually has the best prices.

I replaced my valve a few years ago. I was having a similar issue when it was very cold out. Not an issue since.
