Depends on what its made from, how many welds it will have ect. I know steel along with alot of other  products has gone up. So you are paying for the materials, someone who knows what he is doing and obviously the company will want to make a bit of profit as well.

That price is about right unless your buying them in bulk,i would try and get a few quid off and get it at least you can have things where you like on it.
