Default ridiculous spare parts pricing

So the vertical plastic window trim came off my passenger door on the highway somewhere the other day. I emailed the local ford spare parts dealer and was quoted $150.... for a strip of plastic.....which came off due to a manufacturer defect...I asked if they could do it cheaper as my drivers side one had already came off before (i managed to save this one before it flew away), so they gave me $20 off. $20 is how much id expect to pay for a piece of plastic! Anyway, i went to UK ebay to look for it and found it for 19 quid. Total was $45 delivered to my doorstep. How can they charge such a premium on spare parts!?
I know theyre trying to run a business but seriously...$150 for a piece of plastic!? Now they get $0, as ill get it from the UK.

*end rant*
