The price is ASCII text embedded in the HTML page. IPv6 has absolutely 
nothing to do with this issue. You could view the source code of the 
page and find the price. It is a rendering problem (that I, and others 
cannot reproduce).

There is no mythical IPv6 monster eating your bytes. I hate that this 
"disabling IPv6 fixed it" myth exists. Pretty soon you will have to 
enable IPv6 to even get on the Internet.
