Not quite as simple as that, the word profiteering covers a multitude of sins when related to business practice. You are correct though in that profiteering would also encompass what you say, but it also encompasses what I said and other things such as monopolies, price fixing, syndicate pricing, emergency price rises (such as the sale of bottled water dutring the hurricane aftermath in New Orleans) etc.
I have no beef with Woodlore, and I know that there are a lot of fanboys on this site and I had no intention of deliberately annoying anyone, however, as I said in my previous post, I'm pretty sure that Endicotts had them earlier this year for about £55... so £90 seemed a little excessive if there were only two places to purchase [worse if Woodlore has a monoploly?](especially as mine came direct from Aus at a cost of about £45 inc tax and handling fee). But as EmmaD has pointed out, she's pretty sure that they are not the same basha anyway, so in that respect, I stand corrected.
