Decorative molding on kitchen cabinets

We have decided it would look nice to upgrade our kitchen cabinets by putting a decorative molding on the top and bottom. They are offering it here as an option for the new homebuyers - it wasn't available when we bought. Anyway, we went to Home Depot to look for it since the cabinets came from there. The salesman said to buy the molding finished to match our cabinets would cost $60 to $80 for an 8 ft piece but we could buy the moldings unfinished at HD for about $6 to$8 and stain them ourselves. I came home and looked up the cabinet company online and found I could purchase the stain from them to match exactly so we are going to go with doing it ourselves for 1/10 the cost. I could not believe they want that much for finished pieces of molding!
