Pricing spark plugs.

Pricing spark plugs.
I went to my local trusted guys and he gave me a quote on a spark plug change for about $360. I knew there would be a lot of labour so there were no surprises on that portion, but almost half of that is parts, as the spark plugs are $22 each he says.
Now I was there when he called his parts guy and he seemed blown away too. Most things I have come across said to use Autolite Double Platinum and those seem to run between $4-6. I also came across a 4pack that was $22, so do you think that was maybe a mistake on the part guy's end?
Before anyone tells me to do this myself, I have changed my own IMT rings and water pump and that's about it. I am not overly comfortable taking my manifold off, and I know there are very specific measurements involved with not overtwisting (torquing?) sparkplugs.
