<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1199188, member: 112&quot;]Chris - the market for books is just like anything else, and books in and of their own right are extremely collectible. If you look closely at the links you provided you will see that the new prices, and the used prices, are for books from years past. Can you imagine how hard it is to find a book, brand new, that was published 20 years ago ? To a book collector, that book is worth a substantial premium over what it is worth in used condition. On Amazon it&#039;s worth 10 times as much.</p><p><br /></p><p>The newest edition I see listed there is 4 years old. The difference in price between new and used is 6 times as much. This is not unusual.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason you find it rediculous is the same reason that people, non collectors, that coin are crazy for paying what they do for coins in MS coindition. They just don&#039;t see the items as being valuable. But everything has value - to somebody.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
