    The last time I looked at the census for that book I think it was like 80 or so in 9.8 universal. They’ve definitely been poppin out here and there. Whoever owns that 9.9, I hope they sell in any form, auction, buy it now, whatever. I just want to see a Bronze Age book break a million dollars lol

    Apparently the one-time 9.9 is no longer in that condition:

    A potential reason:

    It depends solely on the demand, which is made up of many economic and social factors.  No one cares what your "costs" are when they are purchasing something.  They go by the prevailing market price, which may be higher or lower than what the current owner has into it.

    Yes, demand  and supply because price can also reflect scarcity
