Sometimes Amazon sellers of books and CDs set prices automatically using their computers and alogrithms, and prices can get seriously out of hand, as a $23,698,655.93 price for a book on flies illustrates! Click the link for details http://www.michaeleisen.org/blog/?p=358

It's £5.05 on the UK site, including delivery.

One could set up scheme whereby a UK person bought this stuff, shipped it to someone in the USA and sold it from there. Even after the shipping you'd make a fortune.

I once picked up a book on Health and Safety from a charity book sale for £1, read it and then realised it was selling for £45 on Amazon. Needless to say I sold it and passed on the profits to the charity - they were suprised to say the least.

I've even seen people scanning barcodes of books in second hand or charity shops using their smartphones to get an online price to see if it's worth buying for a profit.

Cheers
