WOW! That's waaaaaaaaay out. The US MSRP is $2.99, so casually multiply that
by about 2 for the AUD price. $14.95 is absurd. They'll NEVER move it at that
price. You should buy one at "normal" price, take it into them and shove it
plus the receipt in their face!

This just gets worse! That's nearly $1.00 per piece! US MSRP is $7.00. Time to
bring the Prices Surveilance Authority in on this one. What was Richard saying
