$3.50 each is expensive?
Expensive yes, unaffordable probably not. But those latches probably cost less than a penny each to make. Even if they were a dime each $3.50 is crazy expensive for what you get.
It's like the cup of coffee or tea or a glass of coke at a restaurant; you're mainly paying for the service rather than the product. In this case, it's the packaging, inventorying and warehousing, order fulfilment, etc. that cost a bunch. $3.50 really doesn't seem out of line to me for a relatively low-volume specialized doodad.
