AMAZON DOUCHES

 I don't understand why some people on Amazon.com price their shit crazy high. For example, this guy is selling his copies of 'Star Trek vs Legion of Superheroes' #5 (Allred variant cover) for fucking $1,025.00. That the eff, bro? The book can be found elsewhere for $5-10. So why the ridiculous markup? I've seen other similar massive markups on amazon and don't get it. But I know that I'll never buy anything from World's Most Expensive Comics and Toys, on principle alone.

There are people who sell DVDs and Blu Rays at similarly ridiculous prices. Well, they list them anyway. I can't see anyone actually paying these prices

Dan Rutter explains it all.

The short story is it's all computers battling other computers. If you actually buy one at $1025, they'll buy one from someone else selling it for $1000, and then send it on to you.

The only way to win is not to play.

Thanks for that. I recall reading it before but I'd forgotten about it. I collect WW2 Tank books, and one book I found after a long search for $33 Is going on Amazon for over $500. Buying them new is cheaper than used copies. I assumed the sellers were just looking for suckers who didn't know any better.
