Probably, but when I placed (at 1pm EST) and had them confirm anorder at $3.95 a ball (at 2 pm EST), only to get an email today saying that they can't sell them to me unless I buy in quantities of 12 at $6.50 a ball, that's a little dishonest (don't confirm orders unless you have the inventory in place).

Yes, they probably got slammed pretty bad with orders, and I can't fault them too much for increasing their price, but their behavior seems to be a bit unethical.
