I was actually more curious about where all the new copies came from that are sold by multiple sellers at much more reasonable rates. At one point, the lowest price on amazon was over $1000, it's still out of print, somewhere some cases of them must have been found.
The last new copies that I knew about was when Linda Sapp at TGS found a box of new ones that she had she didn't know she had and made an online offer fo rthem, and offered them for the original price. She probably got them directly from Workman,who sold them at a discount when bulk orders were placed, I did the same and had a box of them in the trunk of my car,so maybe she made a few$$$, but didn't jack up the price.

She was sold out in just a few days.
