I guess. But it’s so weird, it’s not even a high demand item. The only reason it came to my attention was because we were about to get one at Costco, but then we thought maybe we could find somebody selling a set with other stuff like the food processor attachment on Kijiji. Actually noticed the same thing with the Kitchen Aid stand mixer. Somebody else was selling it for full price when Costco was discounted - but this was around Xmas and everyone was in full-blown baking mode.
The other thing that irks me is businesses on Kijiji putting up misleading prices. Instead of listing full price for the item, they have “monthly” instalments prices.
