Default ? about laser printer toner cartridges

I got a new laser printer last night (see blog entry) and I need to buy toner cartridges. Typical retail for a set of cartridges is about $330.00. Clearly, I'm looking for a way to trim that cost. I'd like to stick with genuine HP toner but I'm not opposed to buying HP-compatible stuff if necessary.

I've looked on Amazon and there are a couple of retailers selling what they say are genuine OEM HP cartridges for about $240. The only apparent difference is that their ads say that the retail boxes are not included.

Is there something here I should be suspicious about?

A set of compatible cartridges goes for $250 or so. Is there some legitimate way these sellers can offer genuine HP for the same price as the non-HP product?
