probably just because they aint common. Have you tried Ford? Sometimes they can surprise you with a cheap price! (I did say some times tho lol)

Also, try ebay....there are a few stock clearance places on there that do cheap deals...I got a QH clutch kit for the missus 1.7puma for £20 new through one of those places.

ecp do all car part nowadays. good for basic stuff but not recommended for any rubber bushes ,balljoints etc unless they offer the genuine part as well as the cheap copy.
