These are commonly caused by mistakes, and to help sellers when they make these
mistakes, I would like to suggest that the system automatically notify them of
the possibility of such errors.
This should work for prices both above and below the "norm". How to determine
the "norm" I would leave up to BrickLink, but I will suggest that it significantly
outside of the norm to trigger a notice.
I bring this up here, becaue I just received such a notice for a listing I did
on Amazon. I will include the notice below. This notice allowed me to avoid
having an item sit unsold forever because I priced a $19.99 item at $99.99.
You will see that the notice does not say that I can not list for this price,
just that it is outside the norm and that I should look at it. Options for correcting
the issue are to reprice the item OR tell them that the price is correct as it
is.

Dear Seller,
We are contacting you because we have detected potential pricing errors in your
Amazon.com product listings. To avoid a potentially negative customer experience
caused by mispriced items, we have deactivated these listings.
These deactivated listings are marked in Manage Inventory with a Status of "Inactive
(Pricing Error)".
To reactivate your listings, click on “Fix Price Alerts” and then on “Potential
Pricing Error” on the left menu to:
- update your offer price, or
- confirm your offer price by setting “Your minimum price” and “Your maximum
price” in the specified columns so that your offer price is within the minimum
and maximum price range. We will alert you in the future if your price falls
outside your price range. If you do not use the minimum and maximum price settings,
our systems will continue to use internal data to help detect potential pricing
errors.
If you have a Professional selling account, you can also use the Inventory Loader
file or the Price & Quantity file to update your prices as well as your minimum
and maximum prices. For more information, search in Seller Central Help for the
terms "Unblocking Your Listings", "Inventory Loader", and "Price and Quantity".
If you have questions or need assistance, log in to your Seller Central account
and click the "Contact Seller Support" link at the bottom of the page. For feedback
about this pricing error program, please send an e-mail to listing-error-feedback@amazon.com.
Thank you for selling on Amazon,
Your Amazon Services Team

Fascinating. So Amazon has a dynamic price window that they think everyone should
stay within ? If memory serves me correctly, Amazon scans many sites on the web
to collect data to determine this. I had always assumed it was being used for
items offered by Amazon, but not the 3rd party seller marketplace. I wonder if
they're scanning BL.
