This happens a lot in retail because of what the distributor a company buys from has and what price they are charging.

As an example I worked at a wine store after High School

A 6pack of Bud was $5.50 a case of 6 packs would be $22
A 12 pack of Bud was $8.99 so a case of 12 packs would be $17.98

My boss set the price by what he was charged by the distributor he got the beer from. He didn't care which you bought because he was making money on either.

I have a feeling it is the same for CI. they are happy to sell you either cause they make their money either way. Just my
