Guessing World of books have had a pricing issue on some items?

The pedals are a different matter, how many pairs of 80's BMX pedals are still around new in box?

For that 50 year old rebuilding the bike they never had when a teenager...

Looks like my bookcase is worth more than I thought!

Its a nice book and there's an enjoyment in sitting with some music on and a nice beer penciling in all the updates from the website.

But still, that's a lot of money! I presume the pricing algorithm goes a bit funny leading up to Chrimbo.

Amazon does this a fair bit too. Think it's the result of two people using algorithms to set their price just a bit higher than the other guy...

It's a common tactic used by sellers for items they don't have in stock currently. Jack the price up so nobody buys it, then drop it back when you've got stock on hand. Easier and cheaper than relisting.

That's nothing

This must be pretty damn accurate map... ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

That's what I thought, but then the strange thing is that map says 2 available - and the book on the OP isn't priced highly enough to be that. I suspect it's actually the auto pricing gone wrong.
