Price fixing

I'm looking for a laptop battery on the net. So far I've found 4 sites in oz
that all charge exactly $91.78. Surely they must be price fixing?

Having never researched the major sellers there, I can only
suggest that they may have pulled the good old "let's name
ourselves 32 different things so we increase the odds of a
sale against competitors". In other words, I'd suspect
they're the same company.

LOL, yes it appears I"m right...

Interesting, I checked all the addresses to see if any where in the same
state as me and noticed they were all nsw but didn't take any notice of the
address. I did notice a couple of the sites looked quite similar. Anyway,
now I come to think of it I don't really care as I'm buying the battery for
someone and just charging labour anyway :-)
