- perl4ever 6y agoI have a different theory for why obscure books are advertised at absurd prices these days - few people want to buy them, but anyone who does, wants that specific book and there is no substitute, so booksellers have figured out that anything that has any value to anyone is optimally priced at hundreds of dollars.
- chrstphrknwtn 6y agoYeah, you're probably correct about the opportunistic pricing of not-so-rare and also not-so-in-demand books. It still seems like supply and demand though, in that supply is close to or less than demand.
