Couldn't agree more. People like this are taking advantage of fans who don't have the experience and/or knowledge to realise that they are being taken for a ride over these prices.

We're all wet behind the ears when we enter fandom, and if somebody tells you that a certain zine is "rare" then you're inclined to believe them.

And it's not just zines, of course - Pros memorabilia appears regularly on Ebay at vastly inflated prices.

I realise that these dealers (which is what they are, despite what they say) have to make a living, but cashing in on people's innocence is just inexcusable IMHO.
