botiasWhen I'm used book shopping on Amazon or Ebay, it's not unusual for there to be one seller with an outrageous price. $199.00 for a bestseller paperback that others are charging less than $10 for, for example.
This one takes the cake: $2000.00 (plus $3.99 shipping) for a book that ranges from $8-30 at all other sellers, including another listing of the same book with the same seller.
What gives? Is is some sort of statistical manipulation? A ploy to snare the unwary shopper?
ETA: It is actually a ploy
