Actually the Lobro joints for Buses and at least early Vanagons can be
gotten from Bus Depot for $50 each.  If you really need them, you may
have to go local, in which case you will probably pay close to $65 each.
But that's just the joints, not the boot kits or driveshaft.  So $82 per
axle does sound suspiciously low.  But hey, with a lifetime warranty --
depends on how many times you want to get under there and do the CV
replacement job! :-)
