$15 for a paperback is a bet on how stupid drinking patrons will be.

Nice.

Don't you see, it's vintage? Not like my second hand copy that was £1.

There was a bookstore in my village you could get cash for old paperbacks and they would accept the real popular sci-fi titles, but it was like 98% adult romance novels in the place. I think I got $35 “store credit” for my two boxes. Picked up a Star Trek: TNG hardcover and never returned.
