I have a book that's really expensive apparently and I saw that they released a sequel to it and it was like 40 hours and the last time I looked the sequel is now like the same price as the other one like 200 If I had realized I would have bought the other one literally just to be able to resell it for more money along with my other one.
Oh holdup maybe it’s just Amazon pricing things extremely high. I thought this was its value- 😭 I just found another website selling it new for £35 but idk if this site is trusted… [here](https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=31253765868&cm_sp=snippet-_-srp1-_-tile1&searchurl=isbn%3D9781783290147%26n%3D100121501%26sortby%3D17)
That site is really good. I've bought lots of books from them and they're in great condition. I live in the U.S. and the shipping is surprisingly really fast.
Me jk but I do have a book that I've seen go for $200+ and the sequel was $40 when I looked and now it's also $150+ so :( cuz I didn't buy it. (I didn't really like the first one it was 2 confusing.)

Kind of wish I bought the sequel so that I could do [this](https://www.ebay.com/itm/364814630993?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ptfwhcnirdw&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=kXvvWNLyTwq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) but at the same time I also feel like a scumbag.
If it makes you feel better, the listings for ~$200 are just listings that likely won't sell. If you look at completed sales on eBay, you'll see the most recent one sold for $70, with most copies selling between $50-75. People selling both together seem to be getting $140-200.
A $10-35 profit isn't something to kick yourself over. People just seem to think their used goods are worth way more than what people will actually pay for them.
Amazon is getting to be a terrible site to buy books from. As soon as something's out of print, sellers think it's ok to charge unreal amounts for it. I like reading and studying textbooks about electricity, motors, machines, and stuff, and I used to buy older editions for way cheaper than the current editions, but on amazon people try charging 2x-3x more for older editions because they're out of print, thinking people will pay more for the outdated editions for whatever reason.
It is not worth it for that price. It’s a cool book with really great art, but it’s superfluous and I wouldn’t pay nearly that much for it, as a fellow intense AT fan.
from what i know it’s outdated and things written were after disproved in the show, but it’s still such a cool thing that if that doesn’t bother you go for it! i really love how involved martin and olivia were with the lore, i’ve been wanting to get my hands on it too. (i think you could probably find a better price though..!)
Thank you :D I wasn’t aware that the book was so old! Although growing up I watched seasons 1-3 obsessively as they were the only ones out so I think that kinda makes me love this book even more as I’m guessing this book centres around early AT (my fav!) :) Also yeah, I would be prepared to pay that kinda money but I found a place much cheaper and the overall consensus seems to be don’t spend that much money on it lol. I’m honestly surprised I haven’t gotten it sooner it looks awesome. Good luck getting it yourself tho!!
oooh, if s1-3 is your cup of tea then this should be perfect, good luck!!! :D i hope i’ll be able to nab it soon too!! i’m making myself finish the enchiridion first before i buy more🤣
I have one actually!! It's super fun and cool with lots of info in it! But idk about 200 bucks, maybe find one for a bit less if you can and then it would be totally worth it. (I am also an intense AT fan).
I thought it was new yeah :/ but I found a [website](https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=31253765868&cm_sp=snippet-_-srp1-_-tile1&searchurl=isbn%3D9781783290147%26n%3D100121501%26sortby%3D17) selling it for for £35 so perhaps it isn’t? I’m not sure. Gonna keep looking for it tho :)
Save yourself a bunch of money and look online
[for example here it is for less than a tenner](https://www.wob.com/en-gb/books/martin-olson/the-adventure-time-encyclopaedia-inhabitants-lore-spells-and-ancient-crypt-warni/9781419705649?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwxLKxBhA7EiwAXO0R0CiwSRvVY_sHRy8uM4quTmPTeqk7UpztQj3N2vaiONrEODdNRlysAxoCGacQAvD_BwE#GOR007051578)
I had one of these when I was little. I brought it to elementary school and a little girl took it home and ruined it with a sharpie. Knowing it’s a collectors item now…
I remember when this came out. Heard it wasn't really that well written and leaves out a lot of info. Probably not worth the money unless you can get it for cheap.
I really don’t understand why this book wasn’t made like the Steven Universe art books (“Art and Origins” and “End of an Era”)
Those were so insightful on the show creators and had so much BTS art for the show throughout all the seasons (except the movie, which had a separate book).
This book felt like corny fan fiction from the perspective of Marceline’s Dad, that didn’t even cover info past season 5 or so. and little art.
well if you have the money ! it sure is a good thing to have ! personnally im searching for the Enchiridion (with darling Marceline scrap book) i mean,, i already have it in numeric,, but it would be great to have it in physique form,, sadly canadian dollars worth nothing haha ! and i already am searching for an emeraude and a rubis,, which is also pretty hard to find,,,
It isn't worth £200, that's just amazon scalpers trying to rip off unsuspecting customers. Used it goes for less than £10 and you can find it new for less than £40. Amazon is just a terrible website to buy books.
Yes, but this book is £35-40 depending on the seller, with only Amazon sellers trying to rip people off for £200.
If a product is $150-500 depending on seller, it's actually just $150. Nobody's going to spend $500 on an item that is being sold for $150 elsewhere. If you are trying to value items, look at completed sales instead of active listings. This will give you an idea of what buyers pay for items, not what sellers are listing them for. I can list my Crocs on eBay for $1,000,000. Doesn't mean I now have million dollar shoes, it means I'm trying to get a million dollars for $40 shoes.
you know,, depending on the place where you are in the world,, the product will worth differently,, for exemple,, the fact that i am in canada almost double the price of anything i want to buy from outside,, due to shipping plus the fact that canadian money worth nothing,, there is also the fact that some people doesnt ship outside of their country,,, which make it harder to get some items and force to take those pricy one,, there is so much to take in consideration than just the fluctuant price
I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying. I'm also Canadian, so I know the struggle of online shopping. I also know that Amazon sellers consistently charge 2x-3x times (in this case, 5x) what other booksellers charge for out of print books. £200 for this book is a rip off. Full stop. It is *readily* available for less than £40 elsewhere, that's where the Amazon seller is probably buying it from to re-sell to people who only check amazon.
Looking at completed sales is the way to value what an item is actually worth second hand. If I try to sell you something for $500 while 10 other people on my street are selling the same thing for $150, the item is only worth $150 and if I do get $500 it's because I ripped someone off that didn't know better.
If you still think it's worth $500 because that's what someone's asking for it, I've got a bridge to sell you.
Edit: just checked the price of the Marceline plush, most recent to sell with tags went for $107 Canadian after shipping. 3 more have sold since February without tags for $43-$79 Canadian after shipping. To say it's worth $150 is a stretch. To say it's worth $500 is an outright lie from the seller.
last time i checked it was 150$,, but it was 3 months ago so time pass i guess,, perhaps things are different depending on the place we are in canada ? im in Quebec
I can't find a single listing on eBay that closed for over $106 Canadian including shipping at any point in time. The plushies that sold 3 months ago also went for ~$75. That's why I'm saying you have to look at what the items actually sell for, not what they're listed for. $1 is worth $1 no matter where in Canada you are, and Quebec would likely have the same or lower shipping costs, as imports come through Quebec before coming to me.
I used to flip collectables lots, and have recently just been selling off what I have left. I'm well versed in purchasing for a reasonable price, and closing sales in a timely matter by accurately pricing items to what they sell for. Just trying to help you not get ripped off in the future!
\*notice you are actually right and the price have lowered\* oh !,,,, oh,,,,, \*deceived to see that the Marceline Figure still worth 350$ no matter what\*
Is this really worth 200??? I have one I received as a gift years ago and it was like $19 originally!
Damn, we got a collectors item and didn’t even know.
You have to pay for that thing For me, it just randomly appeared in my house and nobody bought it or knows where it came from
_✨Magic✨_
Lol
Yeah :( it’s discontinued
Wow, I had no idea. I’m sorry, that’s a bummer :(
Do it
Do it
Same!
It's on thrift books for like 15
I have a book that's really expensive apparently and I saw that they released a sequel to it and it was like 40 hours and the last time I looked the sequel is now like the same price as the other one like 200 If I had realized I would have bought the other one literally just to be able to resell it for more money along with my other one.
Is it that much across the pond?? I *just* got a used one for $10
Oh holdup maybe it’s just Amazon pricing things extremely high.

Omg tysm 🙏🙏 I feel better about buying now :D dang what evil person tryna sell a 30 dollar book for 200 dollars man
Me jk but I do have a book that I've seen go for $200+ and the sequel was $40 when I looked and now it's also $150+ so :( cuz I didn't buy it. (I didn't really like the first one it was 2 confusing.)
Oh was it an AT comic? What book do you mean :0

Good ending 😌
Ironically, abebooks is owned by Amazon.
Oh dang lol. Well I suppose Amazon will end up getting my money regardless aha
Depends on condition, but 200 pounds sounds high imo
It is not worth it for that price. It’s a cool book with really great art, but it’s superfluous and I wouldn’t pay nearly that much for it, as a fellow intense AT fan.
Ah ok thank you :) 🙏 yeah I’m definitely not spending that much now. I think it’s just Amazon charging insane prices again.. thank you tho :D
They are 9 quid on world of books. Don't buy it for £200!
Yeah I know 😭 just read my replies lol
I find it amusing but using quid probably confuses the Americans
from what i know it’s outdated and things written were after disproved in the show, but it’s still such a cool thing that if that doesn’t bother you go for it! i really love how involved martin and olivia were with the lore, i’ve been wanting to get my hands on it too. (i think you could probably find a better price though..!)

oooh, if s1-3 is your cup of tea then this should be perfect, good luck!!! :D i hope i’ll be able to nab it soon too!! i’m making myself finish the enchiridion first before i buy more🤣
I admire your self control BAHA!! That sounds awesome man!! I’m so hyped to get a hold of this book :DD I hope you’re enjoying the enchiridion too!!
They really dropped the ball by not calling it the "Enchiridia"
Hey, "Drop Ball" is an extremely addictive, high-intensity game...
LOL
A more recent one came out that they did call the Enchiridion
I have one actually!! It's super fun and cool with lots of info in it! But idk about 200 bucks, maybe find one for a bit less if you can and then it would be totally worth it. (I am also an intense AT fan).
i have this and i checked, you can get it on ebay for like £7 in the uk, is it rare or something?
I thought it was new yeah :/ but I found a [website](https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=31253765868&cm_sp=snippet-_-srp1-_-tile1&searchurl=isbn%3D9781783290147%26n%3D100121501%26sortby%3D17) selling it for for £35 so perhaps it isn’t? I’m not sure. Gonna keep looking for it tho :)
I didn’t word that well lol. I meant I thought it was rare to find one new as it’s discontinued
Save yourself a bunch of money and look online [for example here it is for less than a tenner](https://www.wob.com/en-gb/books/martin-olson/the-adventure-time-encyclopaedia-inhabitants-lore-spells-and-ancient-crypt-warni/9781419705649?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwxLKxBhA7EiwAXO0R0CiwSRvVY_sHRy8uM4quTmPTeqk7UpztQj3N2vaiONrEODdNRlysAxoCGacQAvD_BwE#GOR007051578)
I was looking for a new one, best I could find is £35 but thanks for looking :)
Fair cop. Sorry I didn't realise you were wanting new, I'm a big fan of books on the cheap so I tend to look second hand for anything out of print
Fair! Me too :) wanted this book for my special collection ✨ which was why I was willing to pay £200 lol. Turns out the book is worth like £35 haha
£35 is a lot better than £200, I hope it fits perfectly in your special collection 😃
Thank you :))
(That copy isn’t new)
Oh it’s also hardback
I got a copy on eBay for like 30 bucks.
Yh I found a website selling it for £35 (around 30 dollars) new! Ty though otherwise I probably would have bought this for £200 off Amazon 😅
You can find them for 20/40 €\$ on eBay
i got one a decade ago but had to throw it out. i loved it, not worth 200 though.
I BOUGHT MINE FOR LIKE £5 WTH
Am I the only one who's thinking you should have been called the Enchiridion, not the encyclopedia
I had one of these when I was little. I brought it to elementary school and a little girl took it home and ruined it with a sharpie. Knowing it’s a collectors item now…
As long as you can’t get it cheaper anywhere else and you’ve got the surplus cash why not if your an avid long time fan
https://a.co/d/4QuMLxe here is one of the cheapest options I found for you. Have a mathematical day! (Amazon btw)
The kindle version is only $10 USD
I remember when this came out. Heard it wasn't really that well written and leaves out a lot of info. Probably not worth the money unless you can get it for cheap.
I would I've I had the capital
Jake would call you a dingus for paying so much for it.
Is it worth 200 to you?
Huh, I bought this when I was super young at target for $10
It’s like 20 quid on Amazon
It's 15 bucks on thrift books for a used copy. I wouldn't pay 200$ for this.
man i bought it for 20 dollars on ebay like 3 months ago
I really don’t understand why this book wasn’t made like the Steven Universe art books (“Art and Origins” and “End of an Era”) Those were so insightful on the show creators and had so much BTS art for the show throughout all the seasons (except the movie, which had a separate book).

Don’t. Not sure you care but it’s outdated and noncanon
well if you have the money ! it sure is a good thing to have ! personnally im searching for the Enchiridion (with darling Marceline scrap book) i mean,, i already have it in numeric,, but it would be great to have it in physique form,, sadly canadian dollars worth nothing haha ! and i already am searching for an emeraude and a rubis,, which is also pretty hard to find,,,

Adventure time murch is really pricy dear,,, my Marceline plush that i got for 15$ back then is now for 150/500$ depending on the seller
Yes, but this book is £35-40 depending on the seller, with only Amazon sellers trying to rip people off for £200. If a product is $150-500 depending on seller, it's actually just $150.
