You are not wrong and it is galling when the bushes are made in china or taiwan and cost less than 20p per set to make and are sold around 50p per set to the importers. I know importers have to make money, that's business, but some of the prices they charge for bushes are ridiculous, if you buy a dozen of the same kit then the price is not too bad overall, but if you just want to try 1 kit then it's well worth not buying the bushes and turn it between centres or better still refuse to buy the kit unless they reduce the price of the bushes.
