For old parts like these, sometimes the price is set as a supply/demand economics exercise. The manufacturer may not stock any of these, so to sell a pair they need to build them as a 1-off, which drives the price up.
I've seen this with automotive parts for even 1 or 2 body styles back, a panel that was $150 when a vehicle was in production is suddenly $700 3 years after it's out of production.
