For what it is worth, the seller has more than 120 books for sale at $3000+
each, and another almost 200 books priced in the range $1000-2999. I'd say
they judge the condition, check if a book exists on e.g. Amazon and then
make up a price tag accordingly.
However, one could ask that for a $3000 book, they should offer free and
insured shipping.
