No, Amazon isn't on crack ... this item is being sold by a third party seller. There allowed to list products at what ever price they choose.

Agree. Maybe the seller meant to list it for $114 or maybe it's suppose to be a bulk pack of 10.

According to the price history for the 3rd party new price, on 9 Nov the lowest price was $114.40 which makes it plausible that the seller has one too many ones in the price.

Yeah sometimes Amazon sells in bulk without saying so, so that's probably it

Well if it is a bulk of ten, 6.99 shipping is pretty good!

I've seen extremely absurb prices like this before and was curious to see if it was a typo or not. Apparently, the seller marks up the price extremely high when the item is out of stock. Here's the reply ...

The description indicates that the mechanism is a UJ-120 (Panasonic) while the case appears to be generic.
