That's legit for a new reman caliper but calipers are rebuildable for about $100 including labor. Most mechanics today are either too lazy or incompetent to handle such a tough task as rebuilding something. They are simply bolt on boys.
I'd ask for the old part to be reinstalled and then pay for the hour of diagnostic they'd charge and take it elsewhere.
