50g: "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com."

49g+: "Ships from and sold by BuyOnlineNow."

It seems to me that this is just another example of different sellers asking different prices.

What I do find mildly interesting is the "List" prices. Whose list are they getting those prices from? As far as I know, HP's "Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price" for the 50g is $149.99, and the last MSRP for the 49g+ was the same.

Regards,
James

            
Remember the $87 price 1.5 years ago?

Checking out the price disparity on Amazon is something I do for entertainment--you know, my idea of a good time.

I still have fond memories about 1.5 years ago when the HP49g+ on Amazon was about $87. Bought one. Make that two.
