it is a bit, but you also still really need to be a club member, non-member prices for these things is almost double the member price. though I suppose if you could make $20 profit each off reselling 5 of these you could happily cover your membership.

limiting numbers to 1 or 2 per member purchase would make it very expensive for international members, but having an exception for international members allows many online retailers to also buy up.

a double edged sword...
