Script books via Amazon POD -Scam?

[Triple F]

B5 books is not and never has been owned by JMS.

Never said or implied otherwise. I said the script books (including the 15th) is owned by jms and it is jms's company - Synthetic Worlds - which publish them. B5books are just the box shifters, the public face so to speak.

Note who the publisher is, and note the price. Not even close to the ridiculous figure which "B5Books" claim as the average.

Sorry, I keep forgetting that you're only dealing from second-hand knowledge rather than primary souces. Now, since I've personally sold a Volume 15 for charity for over $425.00 and 2 more for $375.00 would you like to readress that average you're so casually disputing? (And not that anybody's asked or has any right to know, I took most of my payment for doing the Joe Cuts in Volume 15 in copies of Volume 15.)

Whilst this too and fro is all very entertaining, I'm still very uneasy about a company selling product based on secondary market / collector market price trends. I'm thinking here of say, a record label releasing some new old stock of an LP, a warehouse find for instance, generally speaking they wouldn't mark up their price because a record was collectable, they'd usually try and 'correct' the market price by injecting copies into the market at a normal price.

I fully acknowledge it isn't for me to dictate how B5 Books go about pricing their products, but this one does rub me up the wrong way. I'll be curious to see if these do sell at this price.

Also, price is going to vary massively from region to region and date of sale. e.g.
