Tool steel from Amazon?

How freeky is this? They're selling O1 and D2 precision ground bar stock, and even provide a bit of info for HT!

I'm not sure if this is too cool, or appalling.
 
Three cheers for subcontracted selling!

They're not offered by Amazon directly, in case you hadn't noticed.
 
Wow. I noticed something though. I was browsing through the barstock, and I saw multple listings of the same sizes and lengths by the same seller for a wide price range. Such as O1 3/32" x 2" x 18" for $7.45, $13.75, & $27.93 - wonder why?

Amazon does almost nothing directly, it's the blessing and curse of thier market strategy.

I didn't post this to provide a new outlet for material, I just thought it was interesting that they'd think a niche product representation would be worth it for them... then again, it costs them almost nothing, right?

Certainly not where I'll plan on buying steel, but who knows?:D
