Must be being thick, but a quick look on EPER and comparing a few prices, why the massive difference? Is EPER a link to main dealer pricing or what?

Rear shock EPER £47 each v Fiat main dealer (Lipscomb) £75+ each

4x4 single yellow/grey seat base cover EPER £50 v Fiat main dealer (Lipscomb, I thought they were having a laugh!) £120+!!!!
 
okay I see, that's a mighty big increase in 6 years, but same as everything I guess.
 
Also, I have noticed parts get exponentially expensive as they run out of stock after production. For example, the last few subframes for older cars go for near a grand where they were only say £200 a couple of years before.
