So there is something more expensive than a secondhand Robinson.

Only if you pay in Triganic Pus... which is the plural of Pu... not something unpleasant.

well, it seems that not always basing your price purely on other peoples prices is the best way.

I have a better idea. Why not buy a book on how to catch flies?
Hint, hint. My book on fly tackle-- which lists all the grisly accutraments needed to expertly catch, disarm, torture, and kill flies-- is also out of print and can be bought for about $23,698,455 less... if you purchase the the paper-back edition.

What a savings!8)

Amazon's vendors charge sometimes very stupid prices for a lot of things, something that should only cost $30 costs $120 on Amazon half the time, give me a break...

I am looking for a copy of Military theory and practice in the age of Xenophon By John Kinloch Anderson. Amazon has used copies starting at $200.00 (yikes!)

...unless, you can sell a fifty dollar book for millions, in which case it is a wonderful idea! :lol:
