I hope the vendor has just misplaced the decimal point.

Looked at this a bit more and soon identified several other arbitrage sellers on Amazon in the same area. Basically they take your money, buy from a legitimate seller who sends the goods to you, and they pocket the price difference. Make Ebay scammers look generous!
