No.  I bought HyperCard (I bought my mac a year ago), and the box, like
all apple products, does not come with a retail price stamped on it.
It's up to the dealer to decide how much profit she wants to make.
As a matter of fact, the dealer gave me a 20% discount off HyperCard
(I'm such a nice guy).
I would say your dealer is playing dirty pool by selling what copies
she has, and is waiting for a bulk shipment to give to you.  Whatever
the problem really is, if there are copies of HyperCard in the store,
you should be allowed to have one.--
