$449! Are they allowed to change prices at will just like that?

Interesting. I wonder if they did that and then bought it themselves a few times to juice it into the list.

I'd say that's exactly what happened.

There's no better App Store marketing that the top lists and on a slow week it will only cost $125 (30% cut to Apple) * whatever number of sales it takes to break the list. Much cheaper than a big ad campaign. Very smart way to game the system.

I don't understand how this works ... what does this accomplish ?

They're remaining on the same spot in the list.
