If they are selling you quality stainless steel mandrel drawn cables and lined housing, the price is reasonable, or even cheap. If they are pre packaged department store quality sets, then yeah, it's too much, but you should avoid those anyway.
I like to start with the barrel adjusters about 1/3 of the way out.Gives you room to adjust both ways.
