Yes, I mean there's always going to be some price difference if you buy it from a Packard retailer vs. say, Rockauto where I got all the other prices. But of course, for things like engine and Ultra seals, someone has make the tooling and reference the drawings to make it and that's extremely difficult to do affordably at a small scale

Even for rare stuff like say, A/C vents, no one is going to spend 10k on injection mold tooling so they can pump out 10,000 at $10 apiece. Would need to be 3D printed AND cleaned AND custom painted which is a non-trivial cost per piece. Same thing with other rare parts like the starter bezels.
