That's just the nature of books.........a run of 500 books costs probably 80-85% of what a run of 1000 books costs and beyond that, the per book price is even cheaper. So, the sellers try to get the bulk of their cost in that first batch of 500 with profit falling into the second. A book like Richard, Jay & Joe (people don't always mention Joe in discussing the book) produced costs a LOT of money to produce--especially with as many as they likely produced. I gladly paid the $125 even though I don't collect OJ's any more (for now). It's a work of art. The $24.95 versions will dry up soon........they're being offered in the REA catalog at $60.00. Still a bargain.
