I have a Ryobi belt sander that uses a Bando S4.5M drive belt (with cogs
on the inside).
The web sites I've checked are selling this belt for $15 to $20. This is
a small belt
about 4 1/2 inches long. These prices seem to be way on the high side, I
know that much
larger automotive fan belts wholesale for $1-3.00. I'd like to find
somewhere to
purchase this belt, or a generic version, for a price that reflects its
real value.
Anyone know about this?

Hate to bust the balloon, but you're paying for rarity, not weight.
