Why is the JLA Deluxe HC Vol. 2 selling for so much?

[DynamiteJ]

I've been reading through Morrison's JLA run recently and am currently on the second Deluxe hardcover. I went online to do a little background research into the Rock of Ages storyline and came across some copies for sale.

There's one copy available on Amazon for $669. Other places have it available anywhere from $99 (ebay) to $282 (Barnes & Noble).

I mean, it's pretty good... but not that good. Even if it's a scarcity thing, there's a paperback version that can be had for less than 20 bucks...

Just curious!

Scarcity is generally the reason.

What?! Hell, I need to find my copy ASAP and get that thing on ebay before they release another edition.

It's probably out of print or got limited shipping for some reason. Here's a story about someone's search for an issue 2 Christmases ago.

The paperback came out a few months back, so if you're looking for a copy, that's the sane way.
