“Bamboo”? C’mon, completely bogus. And not “Amazon” but some random alphabet-soup gone-tomorrow 3rd party seller. The BL RFID tags can be copied.
AFAIK there are no authorized BL resellers on Amazon, including Amazon itself. Anything listed there is either bogus or “scalped,” from what I’ve ever seen.
And yes Amazon charges vendors quite a premium, among other issues.
My AMS-HT arrived yesterday (Wednesday), according to the invoice it was ordered, paid for and delivered the same day. It was about 7-10 days in real time.
I think the AMS-HT is great, I just ordered another while it’s on sale.
I while take more notice of dates this time.
