Where did you come up with that list price? Deere's main computer shows $37.99
each. Not a big improvement but I'm suspicious. I think we have yet another case
of a dealer bumping list price probably? I assume you're signed up to JDPARTS.COM 
through your local dealer? Anyway, back figuring this your $43.69 list price works out 
to be the correct list, $37.99, adjusted upward by 15%. Check the math. I've found 10% 
upcharges to be quite common and a lesser amount of 15% and once even a 20%!
Not commenting or criticizing on other people's business practices, just investigating 
for my own curiosity.
  Other problem might be that Deere only shows 12 in stock nationwide and only one 
dealer shows to have any in stock and he's in Georgia. They are not discontinued, 
probably just a low stock item.

Interesting!
