Cessna wants my children!!!!

I'm in shock, so forgive me if I sound erratic. Ever pull the little wire mesh filter for your hydraulic system? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they need to be cleaned every 100 hrs. Well, I pulled mine. Noticed a small tear in the mesh. Needs a new one.... No big deal right? I'm thinking, maybe $20.00. Called up the parts man.... He said "you sitting down"? $1268.00 wholesale! For a paper thin disc slightly larger than a quarter. Is this just my imagination or is Cessna trying to make it's monthly overhead on filter parts?
