Aren't these kind of odd prices usually just laundering money for black projects?

Sometimes, but not always. People tend to underestimate how much costs are coming from certification, testing and corresponding warranties. The F-117 so did canabalize quite some "spares" bought for the F-16 and F-15 fleets.
... holding a small collection of waste is that intense eh?
If its going on an aircraft and it's no longer made or stocked, then yes there will be extra cost as it has to go through certification, testing, flammability, tooling and various other things. So while the top line price may be high for the bin, but a breakdown of costs would indicate where the money is going. Overcharging? perhaps and possible, but more info needed.

Moreover the 707, which is basically what these trash cans were made for, entered service in _1957_.
Sometimes a spade is just a spade, greed is just greed and you don't need to bend over backwards to find an excuse for bigcorp.

Umm, no. A 17,000% increase in price for a TRASH CAN is not justified under any circumstance. That is straight up robbery that Boeing knows they can get away with.
