Are you sure they were overcharging? Often, replacement screens are more expensive than you realise, especially if you go for legitimate spares and not cheap clone parts, which can often lack contrast and definition, have dead pixels etc. That's nothing to do with the shop, which will charge an hour's labour on top of the screen cost (and are well entitled to do so). It's just the unfortunate reality of the market for disposable electronics.
