I'm all for capitalism, but these could be crafted from a sturdy solo cup and lid and a few fittings if needed.

I suppose you can make an effective catch can out of an old soda can, hoses and some RTV if you really wanted. The money goes to the design, materials and construction of these more "expensive" pieces.
