Purchased two of the Harry Potter "Illuminating Wands" from the Noble Collection web site for $39.50 each + $13 shipping. Found the same exact wands the next day at Barnes & Noble for $29.95 full retail -- no shipping of course. Requested a refund of the extra $20 paid for these items from the web site. Answer was No. Doesn't make sense -- Barnes & Noble had to pay wholesale for these things -- and yet retail price is $10 less than online price. The rip-off, unfriendly to consumer company is based in Dubai.
