Why so expensive?

I was looking at a Cisco Press Frame Relay Solutions Guide both on eBay and Amazon....what I don't understand is why does this book cost so much? A seller on eBay is asking $190 for the book and 3 sellers on Amazon for 150 - 180 range...They are used etc...so what gives?

    Cisco Frame Relay Solutions Guide - $52.00

    Looks like it is out of print. I guess the sellers are using that as an excuse to jack up the price

    If you have Safari, it is still there in electronic form

    The nice thing about the outrageous used book prices -- one silly expensive used book like a used $400-500 copy of JNCIE Juniper Networks Certification Study Guide justifies buying an outrageously priced Kindel DX -- especially since the PDFs are available for free download from Juniper. :D

    Maybe it'll be in even greater demand once you're done with it, and you'll end up making money when you resell it!

    Mmm... I like the way you think! :D

    Somebody in another department got around the whole eBook only on your computer issue by ordering somebody to take a digital photo of each page, crop, resize, correct levels, paste into a huge Word doc and then print it out...

    I know this isnt the book you were looking for but it still might be something worth reading.

    I think “very senior” gets stuck in there because the last six yahoos that applied for the position couldn’t tell a packet from a Snickers bar.
