You do have to wonder sometimes about Amazon Market place, I've no idea how some of them come up with these prices.

I was looking for an old book the other day on Amazon and the prices for a used copy ranged between a couple of pounds to over thirty - both classified as used acceptable.

Surely when people put up stuff for sale they check what others are selling it at, seems they don't!

There is a guy advertising in the MR Fleamarket who wants to sell brand new 350s for $180 + shipping. He lists his address as New Jersey, USA. You can order 350s from the Sony Style Store in USA for $180 with free shipping. I guess this guy must have driven around to B&M retail stores to buy up their discontinued stock on the cheap and is now trying to turn a profit. It looks like he is targeting non-USA markets where they cost more.
