I think it's more of a supply-demand type situation:  There aren't too many RHCE
certification courses out there, so they can pretty much charge what the market
will bear.  The prices will probably go down some once there are more courseware
providers.  It will probably still be expensive, but not as expensive.

There's questionable value in these cert. programs anyways...your $2000+ could be
better spent elsewhere.  I interview candidates regularly, and certification just
isn't high on my list of things to look for.
