Check the Continental O-200 Flyers group.
EDIT: Just heard back from the seller, who says he wants $8500 for the crankshaft.... "firm".

My mechanic purchased an Ercoupe “ramp-queen” for not much more than that with an O-200 engine up front. He was offered more than he paid for the plane because the buyer just needed the crankshaft (the mechanic declined).

According to him, IF you can find one, they are going for 8 to 10K. Continental is waiting for a run of crankshafts to be made so that they can fill orders for engines that they have sold.
Interestingly, spoke with the rep from Camguard and he says he can find serviceable cranks without much trouble. (but you will pay a hefty price for them) | | 1 member likes this:

Checked the price of Lycoming parts recently?

We are still looking for the crankshaft. Hopefully, we can find one very soon. | | | Re: Looking for Crankshaft, camshaft, hydraulic lifters O-200 | Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 2,598 Likes: 114 Member/2500+posts | | Member/2500+posts Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 2,598 Likes: 114 | Another yellow tagged crankshaft popped up on Facebook Marketplace today.

So you have a FOMO (fear of missing out) marketplace. With that comes the, I have what you need pricing, take it or leave it. Yes, I have several crankshaft that are tagged and in my inventory. However, they are all earmarked for upcoming overhauls. One must look at it this way, if I sold one of these cranks, what am I going to replace it with in this market and at what price??? | | |
