I have no doubt one or two of their items are cheaper, but to inflate a "list price" and then sell it for normal (just) price is a rip off. I seem to remember another post not so long ago similar to this.

It would pay to shop around and see what the real price is before buying from these monkeys.
It says my cart is empty, damn right it is!! Specials? yeh right!!

1271883 2012-04-25 21:14:00 Their normal pricing (and those List Prices are their usual pricing, for most of those items anyway) is just very high, so only some of their products are worth buying even on special. Just like, say, Whitcoulls normal price on a given book will often be quite a bit higher than, say, Fishpond might be. inphinity (7274)
