No way, when I found the Unipart one was the same as the AF470 (it's actually stamped Payen AF470) and made in the UK a few weeks ago and posted it on here, it was about £12 inc VAT..

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

Check you have the right part number,
GUG812632HG

That's a Payen AF470, identical to the BK 450 apart from an extra seal around the oil feed (which means it can't be used with some of the fancy non-Aseries heads).

When I got mine they had well over 100 in their central stores - unless TM panic buys have pushed the price up !!!
