Small common parts that seem to be way overpriced

As title says, some small parts seem way overpriced to me. Leading off are crank arm dust covers. I guess I didn’t have them in tight enough and lost both nice Shimano ones on my Miyata. Of course even if available, these are perhaps $20 each. Even generic plastic ones are $5. It seems generic metal ones should be $5 considering the universal fit. Brake cable end ferrules also come to mind as they are quite pricey considering the low tech and universal application. Any other rants here?
