The Corsair TBT200 Thunderbolt 4 Dock is selling at Amazon US for just US$279.99, US$60 off the original retail price. The gadget, released last year, provides ten additional ports, including three Thunderbolt 4 USB-C. Other ports include 15W USB-C, 2.5GB Ethernet and an SD card reader.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Corsair-TBT200-Thunderbolt-4-Dock-now-just-US-279-99.708587.0.html
For the spring of 2023, it is no longer profitable to invest in obsolete docking stations for TB3/TB4/USB40 for a long time. This is already a waste of money, because. docking stations usually do not change for many years, and now a radical change in standards is coming. TB5/USB40 2.0 coming out in 2024.
All TB3/TB4/USB40 docking stations do not support the full version of DP2.0+ (80Gbps - 8k@60fps@30-36 bits lossless modes) and, accordingly, HDMI 2.1 (48Gbps) is already slightly outdated against its background, which will also be updated soon.
This should be like $80 not $280.

If there all the ports clearly work, as stated, then rather $150-160, but no more. For $280, this is already the level of docking stations with 2xDP1.4+HDMI 2.0b(or 2.1 trimmed to 40Gbps)+2xSPDIF(Optical/Copper).
