Odd? Not really. If there is high demand and low stock most retailers will increase the price. Even in electronics you see quick selling items set aside and put into bundles forcing people to buy the add-ons. It's a free market so it's not illegal. Price gouging is only illegal in some states and usually on things like food and gas after natural disasters.

At least you guys have MP Prime in stock down there. I was lucky enough to get some when a brand new TRU opened, and got them matched to the sale at $70/each, but after the first shipments TRU Canada said they aren't getting any more in.
