Porsche oil drain plug washer $2.25. What is the difference $2.00?

The oil drain plug crush washers cost even less.
I know there are cheap (cost and quality) parts for Porsches that are not OEM.
I was also looking for more of the price difference between an OEM part vs what the aftermarket can offer. I think OEM radiators vs aftermarket are a big deal, but you are still talking big bucks.
The crush washer is certainly a great example of a cheap $ and maybe even better quality!!!

Oh! Without a doubt. Those radiators? Crazy $$?

I picked up a couple crush washers fron the local NAPA... ran me about $1.65 each. Needed them in a pinch. I have purchased the OEM... but yeah... $2.25? And it didn't even have a "P" on it.
