It seems that many of the building kits are overpriced, especially Walthers. The kits aren't that intricate, they'll sell for a long time, and there's not the labor-intensive research of rolling stock kits and RTR. The cost of rolling stock and motive power seems high, but generally in the 'get what you pay for' catagory, since it's often more railroad specific, with correct (or closer than shake the box) roofs, ends and doors. Paint schemes get more research, etc., so I can see the $15 list price on kits and $30 on RTR (although I'm not about to pay RTR prices) But $40 for four walls, a roof and a couple of details is way too much for a plastic building.
