I don't mind paying BMW prices for a BMW - what I object to is paying BMW prices for a Yugo.
On a list I follow, someone made reference to a series from the 90s that sounded interesting. The original publication date was 1999 for the book I was interested in, and the price asked was $7.99. I'll pay that for a new book (if it's an author I follow), but not for a 12-year-old book that long ago either made back it's advance money or had that investment written off. Backlist, long-tail books should not be priced at the same price as new releases are.
If I decide to get the book, I'll pay the !.99 price for a used paperback.
