with all the work and labor required to properly install one, you're better off resleeving and ending up with something way stronger.

they have to be pressed in. then the sleeves bored/honed because they become distorted after pressing in the guard.

This is an average price...sounds right.

It also depends on the quality of the shop or if they have any warranties, as well as the location of your shop.

A shop out in bufu where there is no competition will have have higher prices than a shop that is surrounded by competition.
