We sold hundreds of them.....I am sure I have one?

These two old school teachers fished that area for many years so they did a good small book about it.

I have never figured out why people do that. When one of my books was still in print and on the shelves for 20 bucks, there were ads on Amazon for the same book for $800.00. or more. It has to be some sort of scam. But for the life of me I don't understand it.

It's called algorithm pricing, and it's a way to set your price on Amazon. It's used mostly for rare, hard to find items for which it's difficult to set a valid price. It's a popular way to set prices on old books on Amazon, especially when you have no idea what a valid price would be. That's one reason why if you want an old or out-of-print book, Amazon isn't the best place to start. Google is your friend for that. Amazon searches it's prices for "comparable" (not that it is necessarily comparable) products. Then one person sets an inflated price, then the next person sets a price slightly higher than the first, and so on it grows. It's not a scam on Amazon.
