Does anyone here have any idea why the Amazon.ca prices for any AFV Club kit are so darn high?

Examples:


AFV Club Churchill Mk III Dieppe Raid = CDN$ 204.48

Gun Ammo, Brass 17 Pounder = CDN$ 93.90

AFV Club 1:35 German 20L & 200L Fuel Drum AF35266 = CDN$ 61.04

Centurion Workable Track Links for all Types = from CDN$ 94.76

AFV Club BOFORS & M42 Ammunition and Accessory Set = CDN$ 106.08

AFV Club Models 1/35 M40A1 & TOW A1 Anti-Tank Weapons = CDN$ 73.28

AFV Club 1/35 105mm Howitzer Ammo & Accessories AF35184 = CDN$ 85.04

AFV Club Models 1/35 IDF Centurion Sho't MK.5 1967 = CDN$ 172.86

What gives? Are these all gold plated or something?

Amazon has shifted to an eBay type of exchange. You can sell stuff and have them ship it, you can ship it, or a whole host of options in between.

I never judge kit prices on it since I've seen, no joke, a $15 kit with $600 price tag. For some reason Tamiya kits have a big markup from Japan, but Fujima comes in for the best prices anywhere. Real dogs like their old Pz II with an above $100 tag. Doesn't make sense, but eBay never did either...
 
Because the vendor sets it that high hoping grandma buys jr a kit for birthday? Just guessin' but praying on ignorance is what comes to mind.
