I'm so glad amazon is useless in my country due to high delivery times and fees. Local stores never vanished and their online stores are so much better.

The Lowe’s website has this too. It’s fucking asinine.

Sometimes there is a minimum advertised price that manufacturers will allow vendors to sell at publicly, and the price in cart is a way that vendors get around it. If that's what's happening here, OP might be getting a really good price. I don't think this is a sinister plot by AMZN.

What's the price when you add it to your cart? Websites do this when they are selling something for "less than what ASUS allows us to advertise". If it's less than $43.25 when you add it to your cart, that's why.

Still dumb, but at least there's a reason.

No it's identical.
