From here:
Definition of EXTORTION
1
: the act or practice of extorting especially money or other property; especially : the offense committed by an official engaging in such practice
2
: something extorted; especially : a gross overcharge |
It's only extortion if you're
forced to pay it. In this case, you aren't. Don't like the price? Don't buy. Whether having the book is important enough to you to pay the higher price is your decision.
