Answers:    Angel have it exactly right. The PCBs are specific to each manufacturer/model of boiler. The capitalist therefore have a captive marketplace and can charge what they like as you can't capture the part anywhere else. It's call having a supply monopoly.
The price will be what the souk will bear.
