ebay completed sales are a good way to gauge, but you have to ignore
Amazon prices on uncommon books entirely. Amazon listings often have
algorithmicly generated prices that are insane. By insane I don't mean
"I would never pay that.", I mean they are examples of some automatic
process with an overly simple rule going off the deep end.

Wow, I thought that price was just another over-reaching gouger... but
the few *sold & completed* auctions on ebay shows that at least some
people are willing to buy these for $50 - $100.

The "Big Computer Games" book is not among them, but would probably be
