a few things to keep in mind.

1) there could be a printing error (hence the price change w/o notice)
you wouldn't want to sell something that is supposed to be 119.99 for
11.99

2) magazines get printed 2-3 months in advance before they hit the
shelves. So when you put your ad in there, could be 4-5 months before
somebody will see it. Now keeping same prices for 3 months is not so
bad.

3) everybody has to eat, so gotta be profitable otherwise it's bye
bye.

It's not like somebody is holding a gun to your head when you call
them and forcing you to buy stuff. Look for other places. Most of
the time prices come out pretty even. If not then part you are
looking at is different quality. Some places offer free shipping on
orders over certain amount. Shop around.
