Price Gouging

Quote for Maytag Neptune clutch replacement is 209.00 for parts...everyone sells these RETAIL for under $150, including Home Depot online.  Tech also adds on to the estimate "bearings" for $38.73; RETAIL = <$25.  The bearings are fine, BTW...he never even looked at them, but I did.  So we've got about $250 for parts and another $250 for labor, on top of the $65 service call...we're approaching $600 for what is really a clutch kit replacement, maybe 1 hour labor (should be part of the $65 service call and maybe $140 in parts).   So they're 3x what they should be.  Quite incompetent, actually.  No desire to help me figure out a more economical way.  Hope they go out of business.  "Screw 'em" is their motto, I guess.
