Who knows why some things sell for incredible sums, and some things don't.
Some time ago I watched an eBay bidding frenzy for a Navy WW2 book entitled "Battle Report - Pearl Harbor to the Coral Sea". I just happened to have a copy that I bought from ABEbooks for $10. They bid it up to over $600. I contacted the runner-up, which eBay despises, and offered him my copy for $600. He sent me a cashiers check. I couldn't in good conscience cash it, so I sent him my copy and his cashiers check, with a letter asking why in the world would you be willing to pay $600 for an easily obtained book? Never got a reply.
