I just bought four spindle seals from Burlen - I did have to sit down when I saw the bill - £33.31 plus delivery. But it is nine years ago since I last replaced those seals so amortised over that time it's only £3.70 per year, or 95p per 1,000 miles :-)
I think there's many a carburetter that's been 'modified' over the years by inexperienced/cheapskate/bodger/ignorant (pick any one of the four) mechanics and I'm not surprised when I hear stories like yours.
