So far, only one seller has these crazy prices. Of course, no one else has pellets in stock, so we'll see wheat happens when they get more pellets. But, you can pre order at the regular pieces from other sellers. Here's my thought. Yes, he is one of the few who have pellets in stock. Will these prices stay the same when everyone gets pellets in stock? If so, he won't be selling very many if everyone sells them at the regular price. This seller pretty much has to keep the same prices when more pellets are in stock or it will be obvious that he's trying to gouge his customers
