Actually, this is not terribly suprising. To make these parts the CNC cannot be running parts they actually produce profit. With a small run of three parts you have a huge setup cost per part. Plus this material looks to be Delrin, this is a very strong plastic (100 MPH and still have a plate) material alone is almost 20.00 if you were to buy a small amount. Finally the pins are not cheap probably 5-10.
Too rich for my blood but I understand the price, these are custom made parts.
