Even though I know pricing doesn't necessarily reflect costs, to be charged more for something that costs less to produce does make me feel like am being taken for a ride.
And knowing that this is only so because of price fixing (retailers are not allowed to set their own prices like they can for pbooks) is even worse.
At the very least it is very bad public relations. Let us hope Amazon will take them down, or at least reduce their influence to a level at which they have to be customer friendly.
