Like right now, I have a APC power step down unit on Amazon and my listing is $200 cheaper than the seller who has the buy box. My item is brand new, but I can't get the buy box because the other guy has sold several of the units and has more inventory than I do, so Amazon's system cuts me out of the buy box even though I'm cheaper.. So basically I just have to hope some one is smart enough to understand Amazon's website or the product just sits there..
