Albertas Trout Highway Barry Mitchell

I see this book for sale on Amazon and priced from $199.00 (torn binding) to
$999.00 (excellent condition) Has this book become a collectors item since Barry,s passing or is someone just "Fishing"?

Often Amazon's pricing program makes mistakes, especially on books that haven't sold much. I checked out the book on AbeBooks.com, often a better place to find used books, and they want US$495 for it. So, I guess Amazon's price (C$199.99) might be OK. Both places do list who's selling them. It might be worth your while to contact them directly...?

Bought mine a couple years ago from the Fishin Hole in Calgary, for around $25.

Thanks for the reply Don. Have contacted them.

Bought mine about 15 years ago taco. Just trying to find out if they are actually selling for these prices now.

The Amazon third party sellers have robots that update pricing based on what other sellers are asking. It has nothing to do with what the book sells for in a legitimate market. The robots will chase each other upwards as prices increase from each seller. The famous Ververka Spey and Dee flies book was priced at over $2000. Out of print, they actually sell for about $75 US. Alibris is a much more reasonable used book market.
