OTOH, I will spend more than that on a book that is known to me. For example, I just bought William Bouguereau (2 volume set) by Damien Bartoli and Frederick C. Ross for $350.
Anyway, I think your statement is wrong and that everyone has a price point for books at which a book is no longer considered buyable regardless of content based solely on price.

I thought we speak about general prices, not some extreme cases.
