(I've paid that without blinking for objects about the same size.) Of course if there ever was a desire to bring the price down, that's easy enough: Print the first, create mold from that, cast and fire the rest. There's a good reason this technology is more often considered desktop prototyping than desktop manufacturing; as soon as you get beyond one-offs, it stops being cost effective.
