rip-off

was browsing at times t2's outlet n saw the movie tie-in edition of pride n prejudice. ahh...finally one wif a nice cover..i thought. couldn't believe my eyes when i saw the price at the back.

this one costs $18+!! of cos this is at t2...so theres the slight mark-up. but i'm sure it costs pretty much the same elsewhere.

what's the big idea? i mean....i thot the copyright for the book has expired? only explanation for the much higher price is the fact that it's a movie tie-in. n the fact that it has a better cover. but sheesh...those who buy this edition are truly ripped off.

i got this one on the right for only $4.73 a few months back from mph. same story, same author, different prices. why? cos one was a movie tie-in, but the other is not.

i still don't get why someone would buy the movie tie-in.
