Subject: What’s with the huge price increases in Datsun/Nissan parts?

I went to buy a genuine accelerator cable (18200-G1200) for my 1200 Ute through my normal supplier.
The price they had listed was $36.00Au which I thought was reasonable. After accepting the order they came back a few days later and say there has been a price increase and they now want $159.00AU. That’s a 450% price increase for a pretty basic part!
I then look on eBay and see an ad for this ‘ NISSAN DATSUN 1200 Heater Water Control ValveGenuine JDM OEM 27017-B8520H’ for $1331.57.
The more I look up parts the more I find that have gone up extraordinarily. I thought prices had peaked over COVID times. I know inflation is bad and all that, but how can they justify a 450% price increase?
It’s getting more expensive to maintain my Datsun than my American classic, who would have thought that would happen.
