I know new parts will be about $200 each and I don't want to pay a mechanic on top of that if I get the parts for $50 off eBay and I can replace them myself.

They are easy to replace, but you should use new O-rings and / or
gaskets. Do the fast idle valve first. The idle air control valve is
almost certainly not the problem. Vacuum leaks are a common cause of the
oscillating idle speed. See if you find cracked vacuum hoses and
connections etc.
