I just checked and found your claim not to be true. Most of them were
cheaper than $50 except for a few rarities sold by third party vendors.

Yes, it's easy to explain: you were making a false claim.

And if you were only complaining about the expensive prices, granted -
Coil's works are expensive. Since Coil's long time distributor went
bankrupt a few years ago their own label Threshold House sells the CDs
by themselves nowadays without the logistics of a large distributor.
I could imagine that Amazon buys the CDs from Threshold House like any
other customer adding their profit margin to the original price and
shipping costs. Consider it a fee for being so dumb buying stuff from
Amazon instead of buying from the artists label directly.

Well, and then there is the unfortunate exchange rate for the dollar at
the moment, but that is just bad luck.
