The cheapest US sale on BrickLink is $88!

What are the reasons as to why a single goat piece is that expensive?

Lego is a confusioningly expensive product.

"The story behind the goat that fetches said $50 is that it only appeared in
one set and unlike the horse which comes in other sets just with different print,
the goat was a one and done release from that mold. The reason why it was never
released ever again is not because Lego didn't want to, which would not make
sense anyway from the cost of mold manufacture cost, but because the mold was
damaged." -Miro78

Only on high demand and low supply items.

There are 1000s of LEGO parts of similar size that can be had for under 10c.
