I could see paying that much for a flyback if the TV it goes with is very old and/or rare, but the RCA CTC-16 is from the mid-1960s, so replacements for any of its parts, including the flyback, shouldn't be anywhere nearly that expensive.

Yes, I'm well aware that it is very overpriced, however, the 16 type FBT is one of the hardest to find anywhere, be it RCA, Thordarson , TRAD , or any of the other substitute make, used or new,
I had been looking for a year and a half for a spare, all over, and when I found this, I could not let it go!
