Certified vendors are a great idea but that doesn't mean they can overprice.

True, but in their defense they do pay out the nose to be certified. Basically I think HQ screws them. Not only do they have to pay a hefty annual licensing fee, then they have to pay fees for booths at conventions and conferences and any other approved Delta event. And they are only allowed to sell them to sorors and must verify such. Thus they forbidden to sell them online. You have to call them to place an order.
So if a non-Delta friend of yours wanted to by you a gift (s)he could not do so from a certified vendor.
