[Groop] Groo TPB on eBay

[Promethea]

[trying to steer this thread back on-topic]
 
On the contrary to the comments I've read, this isn't so much a market price
"blip" as a selling practice.  You'll see low-circulation books listed at
ridiculously high prices - check Amazon, ABE, etc. It's classic supply &
demand - these guys have the storage and the book [at least when first
listed - I've actually had a Amazon sale completed on a similarly
inflated-price book I bought for a friend's birthday only to learn the book
was 'already sold'] and they just wait for someone who wants it bad enough
to pay the price.  It's funny to watch the price-war move down by dimes when
other sellers list the same book.... some small satisfaction for us
frustrated buyers.
 
Adding to Gary's original comments about Garden being harder to find
generally, I'd just counsel patience and vigilance if you aren't that
desperate a buyer.

The blip is still going on. If you already have a complete set of the TPB's
consider yourself lucky because you won't be able to get them now as cheaply
as you did. It looks like $30 has been the floor for these hot items. What's
the reason for the sudden spike in price? Anybody have any ideas? Could it
be the fact that re-prints are due out soon?
