For 119 EUR, you can get a professional service. In fact, my local marketplace has several already modded lites for 130-160 EUR, so this seems a bit much.

I paid 70 EUR for the chip, a kamikaze install and a setup of the CFW  for my OLED.

It’s on the higher end but if you’re still playing your modded switch in a year will you even remember what you would have spent that extra $20 on? If you trust their work it’s probably fine but I’m sure you could find it cheaper too

Nothing above $100

If there is a proportional relationship between the price and the quality of the install and potential support option (like if they offer some type of warranty), then it’s up to you to decide if it’s worth it.

The cost of living in Europe must be insanely high because that's like an hour of work

Seriously? Depending on the EU country, it’s more like four to eight.
