I bet the listers don't even have the Reader. They get your money, go buy one and then keep the profit. They sell them for MORE THEN THEN SHOPS SELL THEM FOR!

I've paid more than it cost in the USA too, because I've bought it through E-bay. But I don't feel like I've been scammed. First off, there is nothing wrong if they want to make a profit. Everyone does.
My reason to buy it through ebay was
1) I couldn't find a store that is willing to ship it to europe within the same day with fedex or ups so it will take longer before I got mine. The seller on Ebay can sent them the same day, while for a store I'd have to wait.
2) The store is not willing to write down a lower price on the package or write it as a gift. I'd have to pay import taxes then, which is 20% extra anyway.
3) The reader is new anyway, so I don't mind.
4) I can use my paypal account to pay. I couldn't transfer it to my bank anyway because of the low dollar->euro conversion. Might as well use it to buy something nice.
but most importantly...
5) I didn't knew about bhphoto when I bought mine... all the other online stores (through the sony dealerpage) I went to didn't want to ship to europe.
I paid way too much for it, but well... i'm still happy with it
