I paid $20 each to have 2 tires dismounted and 2 new ones put on. That pretty well matches what you had done so I'd say that's about the going rate. Yes, it is expensive but not overpriced. I plan to do them myself in the future as well.
These tires and rims can be hard work as well as dangerous if done incorrectly. I hate to think I'd let that stop me. Watch an experienced tire man do it a few times and just be careful. wrap a big 'ole chain around the tire and rim before inflating it if you don't have access to a tire cage.
