RCVJr writes: As you can see, while the last price is different, the bid/ask prices are within an 1/8 of each other. These options are traded on different exchanges so the prices may flucuate but the bid/ask will always be close, rarely will you see more than an 1/8 difference. But sometimes, an arbitrage situation will present itself. If you're very, very nimble you can buy on one exchange and sell on another for a locked in profit. Saw such a situation last week on HQ options. Folks in PSE were bidding more than the folks in PHL were asking. My broker isn't nimble, unfortunately. Situation lasted almost 2 minutes, however.
