I'm writing down all the books we had in the house, and lots of mom's mystery novels aren't in print anymore. You can easily find people selling used copies on amazon or B&N for two dollars, but usually there are one or two copies new at exorbitant prices. I can understand that; if I had a book from the 1950s in mint condition, I wouldn't sell it for cheap either. But often I see it's from two dealers: bluehouse and bargainbooks (who always writes in the description "Looks like an interesting title!" regardless of what it is). How many people actually bite in these cases? Who would pay $60.00 for Ngaio Marsh's Clutch of the Constables when you can get one in all right condition for $2? Are they actually making money off of this? And more importantly, are these books actually new or do you think these dealers are just lying?
