You may want to check eBay or AliExpress. Sometimes you can find replacement parts that appear identical to the OEM version for much lower cost. I often suspect that the parts are sourced from the same factories.

Thanks, actually I did search online including eBay. The eBay listing that I found still costs $190. I am sure the seller knows how much they cost from Canon directly. Unfortunately, these are not common parts anyone would want to mass produce. Canon knows it, and it shows. Interestingly I watched a Youtuber recently complained similar price gouging by Harley Davidson (). In his case, at least it's not too difficult to find replacement part from 3rd parties.
