Friends,
I'm still in San Diego after attending NCECA. As usual it was a blast. Also as usual, the best part was seeing friends. Anyway, out of print books are priced at what the market will bear. If you see a book that you want and it is priced at what it is worth to you, then it's a good deal. Otherwise, pass it up for another try at another time. Of course there is a certain degree of arbitraryness (is this a word??)is pricing but that is the nature of the beast. When I price out of print books I take into consideration the rarity, demand, and the price that I paid, to arrive at what I think is a fair retail price. "Warren Mackenzie, An American Potter" is a book that is in great demand and while I feel that $250 is a little steep, it may be worth that to someone else. I have seen it priced anywhere from $100 to $500!
