They jumped up in price the first of the year. I paid $50 for one a long time ago and sold it to a buddy for $50, thinking I could get another if I wanted to. Called the dealer and list went up 3X when they did their annual price adjustments.

Despite Mercedes of South Atlanta showing it, I think the radiator plate is NLA. MB South Atlanta actually shows a lot of parts that are in fact NLA. I really doubt they have some huge stockpile but rather the program that website uses to search their catalogue displays the "price when last available" because my parts guy can tell me the prices MB Atlanta is showing, but they are not order-able.
