Would you pay this for a book?

Dang Iron Curtain......

$6085...plus $3.99 shipping!

Pretty much any book listed for over 50 or 60 bucks is outragious, in my opinion. It starts to remind me of college at that point.

worth is in the eyes of the buyer,but no i could not spend that much on any book

I've found similar pricing on several books I've looked for, although I'll admit the $6,000 is a new high!

These have always been rather obscure specialized books

I've always assumed it was either a typo or someone looking for a "lottery like" sale.

I suppose one could always contact the seller and ask if its a mistake.

I've never bothered because I've always managed to find the books I was looking for at a more realistic price.

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.

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.
