I don't entirely believe these results. Early pricing information from
the publisher was based on a low pagecount estimate, and some
booksellers are taking time to catch up to the final list price. You'll
need to visit the vendor and see what list price they're claiming to
discount - if it's not $49.99, then you're not seeing their real
discount price.
