Is Sears a Ripoff?

I was looking for a 12V Cigarette Lighter Battery/Alternator Tester and found these 2.

and the same product at a 700% markup

WTF?

I would guess that's a misprint

Sears has a lot more overhead, someone's got to pay for that!

Looking at Sears' stock price, it appear not enough customers are choosing that option.

No, Sears is not a ripoff. Sears website operates much like Amazon.

If you look closely, you will see the item is actually being sold by a different seller: Ponder Rosa Assembly.

I actually went into a Harbor Freight the other day for the first time, Nitrile Gloves, 100, $6.99
