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. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN
class=234543618-25042008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

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?</SPAN></FONT></P>
