@basedbagel I would say it's because of the costs related to having a physical location to sell it vs just having it in a random warehouse. That 17 dollar difference is about what one employee makes in one hour.
Another possibility is that they are trying to incentivize people to buy from their online store, probably from the reasons stated above.
