Default spark plugs at dealer $23.40 a piece WTF!

I got the model number off here this morning as I'm changing all the fluids in the new car and will do the plugs as well and found I can get them for $10-12 each online from reputable vendors.
While at Tameron Honda for something else I walked over to the parts desk and inquired and couldn't believe it, I've never heard of spark plugs costing that much. Sparkplugs.com sells them for like $11 each if I remember correctly.

conversation....

I'm ordering mine from Majestic Honda.

Gotta get a couple of parts anyway. It's a dealership. What did you expect? By the time you pay shipping, it might be equal.

Going to do my plugs, oil, diff, tranny, clutch, and test compression next weekend. Prob hit 100k miles this week

Ordered mine from Majestic to change next weekend.

I think they were $12.

Chris said OEM, so that is what I'm putting in.
