Why is IDW's Reprint of Transformers Gen. 1 Vol. 2 So Rare?

I know IDW started to reprint DW's Generation 1 series in 2006. Now IDW's reprinted Volume 1 is rather easy to come by. However the reprinted Volume 2: War and Peace is extreamly difficult to find. I know it is out of print, but only by one or two years.

Two sellers on Amazon are trying to sell it for $999.00 bucks. Does anybody know why this is the case, and where I might be able to find IDW's for a reasonable price?

Fixed thread title & bump. Anyone?

Hey,

They are asking 999.00 for a USED(?!) book. There is a listing under new for 49.99. Also, a listing for 799.20...is this book made of gold?

Those numbers are ridiculous. I hope you have luck with the cheaper one. Site says it's in stock.

Thanks, Man! OMG, This is hilarious! I contacted both those sellers before I posted this. Basically saying WTF! The original DW TPB is still going for about 35x less than the reprint. Obvoiusly I never got a response. The $799 listing is one of the sellers who, I guess, could spare $200.

Thanks for the other listing I may just jump on that!
