Inexpensive TCU for a Honda Accord?

Nope, that is about right. I used to replace those every other day.

These are prone to failure due to the age and are also quite expensive anyway. Find out what codes the TCU brings up before splashing out as it may be something simple like a short somewhere.

Its a Japanese car. Parts for these cars are always expensive even on the older cars.
