Does anyone else find it unacceptable that certain stores are deliberately inflating
the average price of items for sale? Some stores are advertising items (look
at BBB Brickstore mini figures) at astronomically inflated prices which then
greatly increases the average for sale price on bricklink. These stores usually
have more than one of the advertised item for sale. One hugely inflated priced
and then the other at the also now inflated average price.
