Thought of getting some Dykem fluid today. Looked on Amazon, $45. WHAT!?! I check KBC, $14.50. (still pricey, in 2010 it was 7.40... BoC inflation calculator says it should be 10.01 now)

I buy a lot from amazon, its a good reminder never buy from them without checking the price.

Amazon prices for unusual items is insane.

especially for food items not normally sold in canada

agreed. imo, it a big problem they face.....it erodes trust. They are sort of half way between a retailer and ebay so more than ebay, the brand/trust aspect matters. Some guy reselling Dykem at 3x retail, hoping some putz comes along, damages their brand, imo. Mildly surprised they don't have some way to discourage that.
