The problem is thats it is a 2 dollar product that could be sold and fulfilled by some other seller for 10 but you cant do that because Amazon's pricing scheme.
Shop around and you are likely see the same product with a different "name" on it for 1/2 the price.
definitely not a $2 product, it is big, glass surface, heavy etc.
That "shopping around" for with price being the sole factor is the problem. That's what drives quality down. Not the Amazon markup.
