Twelve 7 ounce cans for less than $20 total (shipped USA).

I don't get it.

I think the description is wrong.

I think the description is wrong.

I don't see anything wrong with it, unless I'm missing something.

That's a good price. I ordered the case for $18.35 total, which works out to
22¢/oz. The same brand at wallyworld is 2-10 oz. cans for $6.94+62¢ tax,
which works out to 38¢/oz. They should get here around the end of the week;
I'll post back what I get

What I don't get is Amazon Prime is $113.50, and one supplier is charging
$7.35 for the case, but wants $98 shipping! Really?!? $98?!? I worked
shipping and receiving for a number of years, and it would take a lot of
special shipping to get the price that high

Take a look at the shipping weight.

Take a look at the shipping weight.

That's not unusual for most on-line ordering sites. I've seen unbelievably
heavy and light on numerous objects. I would think this weight is still
light, even for one can, which is what you'll get if you order it:

"1 of Falcon DPSM Dust-Off Disposable Duster, 7 oz. Volume (Case of 12)
[ASIN: B006K0P6NU]

------------- Begin message -------------

We wish to extend our sincere appreciation for your recent order.

Your order is currently on hold due to a confusion on the add , we would
need to clarify with you .

the listing states "pack of 12 " but the price and item are for a single one
..
this was an unforeseen error ,which we only realized now.
we are currently working with amazon to get that corrected.
they currently sell at $113.51 Amazon Prime TM for the 12 pack

please understand that mistakes could happen considering that we have
thousands of item listed on amazon .

However, we are willing to offer you a 5 dollar discount on your order , to
compensate for the confusion

Please let me know if we can proceed with the order "

Although the $% discount is a nice gesture, I went ahead and cancelled it
since $13 is still a *LOT* high for a 7 oz. can.

That's probably someone trying to game Amazon's system. The same
thing happened on e-Bay when shipping wasn't part of the price in
terms of e-Bay's % rake.

It's happened with LED bulbs, too. A particular type I use in my
conservatory was marked at £6.50 for five, postage £30, when they should
be about £12 each, postage for five about £3.

(£ character is UK pound)

So far, looks like the best deal is at the local megastore, a sealed
pack of three 10 ounce cans of Dust Off for $12.
