That's not the worst one.
My own book, 'Belisarius', is available in two formats on amazon.com. As I type this, the 'British' format, from Pen and Sword, is available new from $28.42, used from $28.44.
The 'US' format, from Westholme Publishing, is obviously still in print. It's available new from $999.99, used from $199.08. 4 sellers are asking $3,999.00 for a new copy!
If only somebody would buy one: think of the royalties!!

I just don't understand how it would work: surely the buyer can simply claim their money back? So what's the point of it all??

Good point, well made.

Oh well, back to the drawing board ...

Sadly, that doesn't pay well either. Best bet is probably to move to Nottinghamshire and start buying Eurogazillions tickets... ;-)
