Is This Mattress Topper from Woolworths Marketplace a Scam?

Looking to buy a mattress topper, and realise this is some crappy 'Marketplace' similar to what Bunnings have where the time isn't kept by them or stocked by them but anyway…

Starry Eucalypt Pillowtop Mattress Topper 7cm King $65.95 Will Be $294.75

The way they describe the price 'will be' and the stupid astronomical RRP they've made up, but others are selling for around $90 so this would be a good deal at $65 if it shows up?

Anyway, why do Woolworths have this section of their website, frustratingly garbage to navigate too.

    It's $69.95 at Bunnings marketplace from the same AUSSIE UNION GROUP.

    So yes the RRP pricing is BS just the OzPlaza Artiss crap.

      Yes thank you I saw that afterwards, that one mentions Charcoal, and this other one doesn't, but I think they are 90% the same product anyway.
      In the 2 minutes since posting I've chosen another brand from the big fake Myer and Big W garbage marketplaces…

      I guess my query is now why do Woolworths, Big W, Bunnings, Myer, all have these half assed shitty seller outlets on their pages? It's as bad as the watered down crap on eBay now.

        Because it's an easy way to make money off marketplace fees/commissions without doing any work.

    If anyone has a good lead on a quality mattress topper I'm all ears.

      Tad more expensive but I just purchased (waiting on delivery) of the MiniJumbuck Sleep Therapy Mattress Topper, Queen is RRP at $799 but Myer had them half price a few days ago. Last time I checked MiniJumbuck made good stuff.

      IKEA - not sure if it's to your budget though.

      Maybe look here. Whatever you choose best to see it in person if you can.

    900gsm Polyester topper. If you purchase this OP, I hope you like sweating.

    It's not sold by Woolworth's, it's sold on Woolworth's Marketplace. Or whatever they call it. Pathetic really that Woolworth's, worth billions, doesn't have the purchasing power to sell mattress toppers directly on their own website.

    Scam ≠ poor value.
