That's a serious question for Inuit artists who see their works sold for hundreds of times their original price... and maybe for blues artists who sold now famous songs for $25 to buy food. It certainly opens a can of worms.

Since it was a POD book, my solution was to make it available again at a reasonable price.
But even if I couldn't do that, I think I'd rather laugh about it than cry about it. If someone actually were willing to buy a paper copy of a book for $300 that they could get in e-form for $2.99, I'd really have to wonder how crazy that is.

Except that the reason there were only 10 copies printed was that I had trouble even giving them away. I'd certainly have printed more if people had wanted them.
Which is why I'm scratching my head over this one.
