Opinions on part pricing????

[TazmanB]

As the title says I am looking for your opinion. This is what happen to me today. I was looking for a particular new genuine GM part that I know is getting hard to find because it has been discontinued by GM. Several parts sites have the genuine part listed in there inventory for $100-$112. I have even tried to order the part on-line twice and was called within 24 hours and told they did not have the part and could not get them any more for the reason above. So I figured I would call several parts suppliers that have the part listed and see if I could find one that just happen to still be on the shelf. The last company I called today has the part listed on thier web site for $112. I ask if they could verify they had the part in stock and this is what I am told, "We have 1 left and I know it's the last one because no one else has them and GM discontinued them." I say thats great I will take it!!! Then the person on the phone tells me "It's gonna cost you $250 plus shipping". I say but you have it listed on your site for $112. Im told "yea but this one is the last one and it's $250. Is it just me or is this just wrong??

Dont get me wrong, if you want $250 for it thats fine with me but to have it listed for $112 and then when someone wants it you tell them $250 thats bad business.
