Help, $40 for heater release inserts???? Should be $5??

I am replacing the heater core in my 2003 F250 6.0. The dealer wants $40 for the quick release insert kit which includes the O-rings. I read in one of the posts on this site that someone paid $5 for the kit. Also the dealer showed me the kit which had two plastic quick release inserts, two white plastic rings and a bunch of o_rings. He said the price was $19.00 each and because there was 2 of each item in the bag he wanted to charge $40 rather than $19 for the kit. Does this sound correct??
Help soon please. My truck is disassembled and I am driving my wife to work every day.

That is kind of like a tire dealer charging you extra for the steel belts, the white lettering, and the tread.

Another dealer same BS, only cheaper

Called another dealer, same BS "two sets in bag so double the price" only total cost is $27 instead of $40. I will try more dealers. Where could I get this part on line?
