Ya the prices are ridiculous for local glass shops i was quoted between $32- $36 per square foot from 4 different places here in Vancouver without any work on the edges, glasscages.com sells it for $15. To put that into perspective, for the 4 pieces of starfire glass that i would buy at a local glass shop. I received a quote from sea-star to build and deliver and entire aquarium (starfire 3 sides) for around the same price that included the drilling 6 holes, euro bracing,durso overflow,glass overflow box,all bulkheads,edge working the glass.

Now its all the labor involved in replacing the glass if doing it yourself. IMO if you are doing anything more than just the front of an existing aquarium you would be better off buying a new aquarium from a reputable local aquarium maker in your area.
