It's an amazon marketplace seller.
Depending on the service they've procurred, they can create their own catalogue pages (including RRP). The catalogue page may not belong to the lowest priced seller as once created, any other seller can use it too.
It may be a simple administrative or processing error (there's various software available to create new catalogue pages and pricing) or it may be a method to ensure they are top of the list for discounted prices since with rounding they are offering 100% discount."Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -
