Yeah, it always costs more than you think it should at a shop, especially if you know what YOU can get the part for. Basically, you pay for convenience and that's a way that shops make money. I just had a clutch done on my 850 and I think I paid $330 for the clutch kit. FCP has it for about $200 as I recall. About average markup I figure.

Anyways, the best brake-work purchase I've ever made was definitely a Snap-on flare nut wrench, size 11mm and 8mm. 100% glorious at getting Volvo brake lines off. All other flare nut wrenches I've used were useless comparatively.
