I agree, the repair is definitely not overpriced for the work being done
it's just that with the current market value of the lens suggests that it
might not be cost effective.  However, as someone else has already said, if
you know you're getting a perfect condition lens at the end of the day
you're probably better off spending the money on the repair than on a second
hand lens which could be host to all sorts of new problems.

I don't think that the repair is over-priced.  I expect that the chap 
wants to continue making a living and his time will be worth at least 
£50sterling per hour, perhaps more.  It's just that you can buy 
working versions pretty cheaply...
