Default Greatest markup ever?

If it was, indeed the same product, it will have been bought from somewhere
that specialises in bankrupt and surplus stock sales, so the selling price
is no indication of the original trade sale price. However, pound shops also
sell remanufactured button cells, often in packs that look a lot like
manufacturers' original packs, which do not have the life of new cells.

Where in hell would you find anyone who is stupid enough to
remanufacture lithium cells? They are cheap, made on automated machines
and likely untouched by human hands until installed into your toys.
Short life is caused by one of two things. They have been in stock for
too long, or they were crap when they were made in some Chinese or third
world factory.
