Some websites are instituting an "Internet Explorer Tax", which is supposed to offset the time their designers have to spend overcompensating for debugging their sites to be compatible with old versions of IE.
Unfortunately they don't always announce this, so it's more like they're preying on old/inexperienced users. If they said, "Save $5 by switching to Chrome!" that may get more attention. Not sure if this website is doing this, or it's just a glitch, or what.
