Sane prices: There are only a couple of used bookstores on or near my usual paths, Second Story Books and Lost City Books. Last week I picked up Philosophical Logic by W.V.O. Quine for $8 or so at the latter. At some point in the past couple of years I must have picked up George Kennan's Russia Leaves the War from Second Story for $9.
Now, Second Story will sell you antiquarian books at prices that would cover a sound used car, and I see the occasional university press paperback priced in the $40s. But mostly, in my experience, American used bookstores price reasonably.
[Edit: corrected "Idle Times", the former name, to "Lost City", also clarified second sentence.]
