Amazon appears a rip off

just checking the price of More Mathematical Astronomy Morsels in bookshops was very surprised to see the cost a Bintel $69 Amazon $169.31.
So I went on to check a few more things Dictionary of Modern Star Names Bintel $25 Amazon $35.41
Pentax SP 12×50 WP Bintel $299 Amazon $852!!!
Excel Year 2 NAPLAN*-style Tests Angus & Robertson $21.21 Amazon $26.95
The Lost Man (a book) Angus & Robertson $23.95 Amazon $24.59
A computer Lenovo Yoga 730-2U 13.3-inch 2-in-1 Modern PC Laptop - Silver Harvey Norman $1698 Amazon $2071
Nikon D7200 DSLR 18-140mm Travel Kit Harvey Norman $1598 Amazon $2139 this is a strange one as you can get a refurbished from Amazon for $2861

All I can say after doing this very short price comparison is
caveat emptor
and don't fall for the hyp of Amazon!
