I was looking at game reviews at a site, and on those sites they always have some kind of price matching service. Out of curiousity I decided to click on one. I saw this link and had to do a double take, and I am still not sure if I believe it...
Why does one clearly mark out the lower price and proudly post a nearly $50 mark up as their selling price? That and WHO buys this?
Here's hoping none of you ran into anything like this during your holiday propping up of our downturning economies shopping. May you stay safe!

LOL....that's funny. My guess is that because the Xbox has the best deal goin right now and people are actually goin out and buying them, so I guess they thought to mark up the price for those desperate types that just NEED an Xbox. It's pretty smart. People actually do go for that, If you remember the crazy people that were bidding all that money on eBay for PS2's when they first came out.

My guess would be that the page grabs the current value for certain things (quantity, for example) from a database each time the page is loaded. "Retail Price" is probably one of those values.
