They should also ask for 'proof of ownership'. Otherwise it could be someone else trying to steal your car. 
When I bought my 2 y/o car, I was only offered one key. The original owner had gone overseas taking one key with him. So my MB dealership sold me a new spare, and at the same time cancelled the codes for the missing one, in case it ever surfaced again. No charge for that service. I just paid for the new key.
You can only change the codes for the keys about 6 times. After that all the locks will have to be changed...

I paid $130 for my spare key through a member here on the forum. I think it was Mister Brenton. It was about a year ago so I don't know if he still has access to parts. All I did was give him my VIN.

when i upgraded my key (MB toorak in Victoria, Australia) it was about $450 just for a new key (pre-programmed with inside key also cut)
people in the USA underestimate how much cars cost here down under.
i would not be surprised that they charged you an extra $250 just to re-program it sounds like the MB kind of thing to do!
