Insane Second Hand Prices

ebay can be crazy expensive... but apparently not nearly so much as what booksellers are asking for

Fritz Leiber - Masters of Science Fiction

Yup, the much smaller and cheaper book, limited to 500. What's the lowest price you'll find right now on abebooks or anywhere? Guess...
...did you guess?
one thousand dollars - not kidding. Insanity.

A better deal might be: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=30202700351. (Oddly enough, I had seen this listed a few weeks ago as $900 for James Patrick Kelly, Fritz Leiber, and Richard Wilson; since then, they added Kate Wilhelm and upped the price to $1,200.)

The Leiber and Kelly books cost $45 new. There's just not enough on the market now. In a couple of years it will come down to something reasonable.
