The BB is one area where you don't need to spend much to get a good part. The UN55's that are commonly used to replace the old cup/cone systems are typically around $20 and very high quality. One of the biggest bargains in bicycling. How one of these can be $20 and a single chainring can be $100 is baffling to me.

$40 for the repair sounds pretty reasonable.
