Well, did you look at the used books? Did you check them to see what justified the price? That they were all available, at the same time, same place, same country?
Many of the "used" books shown on Amazon are signed FE's, or limited editions, or collectibles. Some are books in other countries, where Amazon won't ship, from sellers in those countries. You can't judge the "used book" market without spending at least five minutes investigating.
And, yes, there are many instances in which some idiot bought a pre-release copy (I've seen ARCS for sale on there, even though they shouldn't be) and is trying to sell it above retail. It happens. If you don't look at the used books to see WHY they are priced over the new, you have zero facts, so cannot make any type of judgement.
