The two tiny changes in the one day were as they tried to respond
quickly and appropriately to a complaint by a local reseller, during
the heavy workload of end-of-financial-year paperwork.

USA resellers set their own profit margin, after shipping and handling
costs.  Wholesale export LP rolls are A$14.30 which equals approximately
US$10.75.

After looking so intently a few times at the one page with the prices
it could be an idea to entertain yourself by looking through the history
pages, and maybe even the catalogue of 1800 rolls.
