Since then I have also identified the same issue on other non-apple items. It would appear that 3rd party traders can manipulate listings (including RRPs) which then stay on the site even after said 3rd party traders stop trading or run out of stock. Which then becomes the de fact RRP on the amazon system. I have actually taken to writing reviews on amazon certainly for macs and warning people of this.
