Compared to the price at amazon.com (US $16.35) this is 6.5 × as much as
new. Compared to the list price it is still almost 4.5 × as much as new.

FWIW, that page defines the condition as "New". Not that that
detracts from your argument -- the price still seems to be outrageous
(always assuming there's not a typo somewhere there).
