It is. The seller knows the psychological impact of the word, ‘discontinued,’ when combined with a popular product that has repeat customers. Cha-Ching!
If someone found a truckload of Canon PIXMA Pro-100 printers today, they would sell like hotcakes for double their last retail price.
Canon paid me to buy a PIXMA Pro-100. Their promo included a full (not trial) set of ink, a box of full sized paper and a debit card. When I added the price of the ink and paper to the debit card it was higher than the retail price.
They are getting some of it back as I continue to buy their ink as needed.
