honestly if those are REAL deans and not knockoffs then $12 aint that bad because i see about $9 in parts at any local shop ($6-7 in plugs and $2-3 in wire Including tax) if you just bought the supplies yourself.

so for most thats ok

but those of us (like me) who buy deans plugs and wire in bulk at cost thats a rip off...lol depends of which end of the stick your on.
