Not surprising. These are "twist pins" made for military interconnects that sell for around $100 for a 9-pin D connector. While there are manufacturers other than Cannon for twist pins they are all equally expensive. I think that the only way to bring down the cost would be to find some other pin and socket connector that has the same diameter and offers a snug fit. I don't think that this will be easy. Regular RS-232 pins are too large (about 1 mm), BTW.
