Everything you wrote is incorrect. I will concede the price went up by $0.33.
ok, please help us understand then! does the photo show a part that's been in use for a long time? or did you select a finishing option after the initial quote? i have never seen an unfinished 3d printed part which displays the features noted below. i'm not doubting that it couldn't be finished to look like that, but the price reflected above is before any finishing options are selected. when i added polishing to my test case (which started closer to your cost) it doubled the price, as i'd expect. the photo clearly shows a "glossy" part, with bright reflections.
nice model, btw! very clean. i've 3d printed a lot of little bike accessories, but always out of various plastics because the cost for metal has been prohibitive in the past, and i also don't use chinese printers. but to each their own.
