Tell them you'll get the gears yourself. Summit Racing will price match. I got my FRPP 4.10's from them for $137 with free shipping. A local shop installed them for $200 install w/synthetic. $337 total.
So...find out what they charge for the install. Shouldn't be more than $225-$250 at the most. Get the gears online yourself.

yeah unless that $687 includes a complete install kit and the labor for that as well it is hight. if it does that is about right.

You shouldn't pay more then $400 dollars installed with the gear. Usually the shops that charge so much to put it in, really don't know how to install them.

Do it yourself labor is $0.00. I don't let anyone work on my car unless it is the dealership for something I can't fix

I paid $400 for a walk in and walk out job. A local Mustang shop did it that does gears all the time. That included friction stuff too and it only took them like 3 hours and I sat and talked to the guy that owned they shop until they were done. Great people @ Steen racing 
They said that sometimes a bearing goes out and that if it does to bring it back and they will take care of it. I paid $90 for the speed cal too.

I think you just need to ask for a breakdown of the pricing
gears ~150
labor ~200
speedcal ~100
now if the shop was using an install kit I think they are like $100 plus some added labor. then you have fluid. if there prices are way more than any of these they are jacking you around. but if you car had higher miles and they were doing a full install kit gears could run about $550-600. how many miles are on the car?

DONT do it yourself. Let a mechanic do it...and make sure its SHIMMED right. bad advice "do it yourself" 
I do a lot of things myself, but i wouldn't recommend a gear swap...
