A little further digging (by Nick Vincent) revealed that these two outliers come from auctions where the Mario kart game was being sold as part of a bundle along with other games. You can look this up in the title field from the original dataset using the following block of code:

What do you make of the textbook authors’ decision to drop the observations? Can you make a case for/against doing so? What seems like the right decision and the best way to handle this kind of situation?
