why so expensive

[Nosfer@tu303]

Does anyone know why Monsters: A Celebration of the Classics from Universal Studios book is fetching such a high price, on amazon.co.uk its over £2000 new £400 second hand and amazon .com $400
I bought a copy a while back for £13 now its worth more than my premium formats

That is amazing, congrats to you.
There is one currently on ebay with a BIN of $299 US.

i can't believe that because i had one a while back and if I knew it was going to be worth that much I definitely would have kept it.

 

[Anton Phibes]

I skipped it altogether.....

just Beautiful Occulum . My Gosh. Great theme going surrounding your figures.

I esp love the wood back drop , if I am not mistaken. Really gives that old universal monster feel.

This book is out of print.
Asking $300.00 and getting $300.00 are two different things.
Wait for a reprint. The book is only 4 years old.

I bought this book back in 2008 at a discount book shop for $35 - at the time amazon had it new for $100. The book is average, could of had many more photos of classic monsters - I was disappointed in actually how little content was in it. If you don't have it, and want it - I would wait for a second printing, or maybe you can still find a copy at your local book store.

Very strange... A few months ago, I had 2 copies of this book and sold the extra copy for $10. I don't know why this book shot up in price...

I think it is out of print and they just released a new tribute book.
