The shaft had to be made to a particular design including tail and armature keyways and bearing seats, not just a simple mass-produced piece for which tooling has already been set up. And cutting to that design, heat treating, and grinding back into spec takes a lot of work -- and that's time billed at a skilled machinist's rates. Unfortunately, it’s not quite that simple.

It might even be less then that due to it not needing the flange for the wheel to bolt too: http://www.moserengineering.com/moser_interior/customaxles.htm A single custom axle is listed at $160.

Then it will be perfect. Why not use a section of off the shelf axle that is 1.37″ in diameter?
