The seller in question was selling items they didn’t have at a nearly 50% markup.

      I try to avoid Amazon when possible. I’ve had this happen, too. I paid a couple extra dollars on eBay in order to avoid Amazon, and the item came from Amazon anyway.

        That’s exactly what happened here. Except it was $11 more. In restrospect, I should have compared it with prices on Amazon.

          Well, I prefer to learn from other people’s mistakes. I’ve avoided some of the common pitfalls, but hadn’t realized the prevalence of this trick. I’ll keep it in mind when I research my future purchases.
