Based on the anti-money laundering training I have to sit through every year, I'd think such overpriced individual items sales would be red flags to anyone investigating money laundering. Not saying it couldn't be that, but I tend to suspect it's the result of fringe cases of some auto-pricing algorithm, particularly with the overpriced books on Amazon.

By the way, I love my KK.
