Everything is subject to the laws of supply and demand. The cost of gas
caps reflects the very limited market, which makes it extremely uneconomical
for a new manufacturer to start up production to compete with the existing
suppliers, hence the high prices.

Exactly. The problem with aircraft stuff is that it doesn't have
the benefit of supply/demand, and everything has legal ramifications.
They can charge whatever they please since they've got you by the short
and curlies, so long as it's less than the even more ridiculous OEM
prices.
