Would you pay this for a book?

Posted by aagranata on Saturday, February 11, 2012 12:09 PM

I know I posted a few years ago about the high price of out-of-print aircraft books, but I just had to share this one with you. Do these sellers really believe someone is going to pay these prices for a book that came out just a few years ago? I have this book on my shelf, but is it really worth this much???? Huh?

A lot of Amazon sellers use computer programs to set prices, leading to the occasional mistake like this. I'm sure no one at apex books sat down and decided $999.99 was a fair and reasonable price for the book, it's just a computer error. Still funny though.

Never mind the $999.99 what about the $6,000+ prices. Funny that there are two the same.

But surley these companys must see this. I have seen books i would like on Amazon for over £1,000 but the porice was never altered.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
