Greed...
I find that everywhere I look. Seems retailers like to make up a price, throw it out there and see if it gets any bites.
Some people don't know what a fair price is, some will pay without question, some will go ahead and buy it out of convenience so they don't have to have to wait on multiple orders, some don't care because it's for someone else, just pass along the charges.
I would suspect 99% of the seals and bearings are standard, off the shelf items. Most manufacturers build around standard parts. Occasionally you will find a special, or obsolete bearing or seal. In that case you are stuck with what the dealer offers, or finding one NOS. In that case the cost will understandably be higher, and I'll be willing to pay it.
But to just blindly assume it's a legit deal, no, I'll shop around, substitute, modify!
A valuable resource is a good seal supply house. One that has all kinds of seals, including cylinder seals. Buying cylinder seal kits from the cylinder manufacturers or the dealership is a risky and expensive move. Often wrong, always over priced! Even if there is not a seal supply locally, you can box up the old seals and mail them, have them matched up.
