A very strange and messed up web site indeed. If I click on add to cart on
the "standard mills" page, I get the higher price in a shopping cart (at
paypal) in a pop-up window. If I click on the "apple" one you list, I get
the lower price in a shopping cart in the original window. I think they have
two stores, an old one that probably is supposed to be gone, and a new one.
Depending how you select an item, you can end up in the old obsolete store.
They really need to do some fixing up here.

The other thing I don't like about it is nowhere can I find a street address
of the business. That always bothers me.
