I was looking on amazon and the price on A Bouldering Guide To Utah is 2500 dollars or more. I feel that is outrageous for a book. Is it really worth that much? I bought it years ago and only used it a few times so that's why I'm wondering if anybody has info as to the price inflation. Thanks!

Possibly automated pricing algorithms?

Looks like $2500 is on the very low end of the used book prices!

Yet bookfinder.com has similar prices to those of Amazon:

No, it's not "worth" that much.

The other Utah bouldering guidebook also has extremely high prices (but more like $250 instead of $2,500).

They're both out of print. But does the demand really necessitate that price? It'd be interesting to see how many have been bought and at what price in the past few months.

Out of control pricing algorithms, offer them $30 shipped.

You can get it from UK for around $50 USD shiped. I know its not super cheap but its cheaper. If you do buy it I just ask that you send me the difference between this one and the $2500 as gratuity :)

Jesus...i have one in my room. Better lock it up!

The crazy part is I priced mine about 2ish weeks ago to sell. Average price on amazon was $250.

Like 2 weeks ago.

I'll sell mine for $1500. :o)
