I was searching the Internet for several old, probably out-of-print books, and I was appaled at the huge amounts of money US bookstores ask for them. Dudes, they are used books, not Picasso paintings! And shipping costs are never included. These alone range between $30 and whatever the fuck they feel like charging you.

Seriously, what kind of people does that? These are not stores. They are terrorists holding books hostage and asking for ransom.
