Ripped off? That sounds more like a dealer price!

Seriously, I haven't priced out Vanagon wires, but have always bought 
Bosch on Golfs & Jettas and never paid more than $25 CDN... Likewise 
for other electrical/fuel stuff - Bosch is usually well priced and it 
lasts. ie: The Bosch starter and alternator on my Jetta are still 
going at 370k... (knock on wood...)
