Total nonsense is right. I buy a lot of out of print hard cover books and I can tell you that many sellers have absolutely no knowledge of the content in the publications they market. There may be a computer program that searches for books and their sale price and other sellers might establish their price based on that, I don't know. But, I can tell you that if there is such a program it is only as good as the information entered in the data base. Old computer acronym from the early '60's says this- GIGO, Garbage In, Garbage Out.
Don't worry, your Abbin book will not boost your 401K.
