Subtotal: $59900

O_O

Same reaction here. I'm not used to reading American prices, and the missing dot scared me as I didn't expect anything higher than $1000.

Font issue? There's a dot in there - $599.00.

Most likely, but it was like this on both places.

Oh well, maybe they forgot to look at it on retina.

  document.getElementsByClassName("op-item-info__cost__price")[0].textContent;
  "$59900"

Tested on both Firefox & Chromium, so it doesn't seem like a font issue.

This is a l10n problem. This happened to me when I was set to Spanish (Latin America) and Russian, but it's correct with English. Some xenophobe must have stripped out the commas...

This bug alone made me stop in my track and turn back from their website. I'll wait to see what the competition can offer.

There goes my apartment.
