Well, I also paid $8, for a copy of the Aubrey Mixes on CD, $15 on LP, US CD versions of PD & LFC for $3. That's just a fraction of what their worth. I would say that $125 for Orbscure Trax is steep, but I picked up about 5 copies when it came out. Those were hard enough to get a hold of, and I'm in the US (the only place it was released). Imagine what Orb fans in other countries are willing to pay. The great thing about the internet is that it opens the collectible market up to the entire world. People pay as much as the market is willing to bear. To say that the only people buying are "rich kids" with credit cards is a broad generalization.
By the way I'm still looking for a few things that I will pay good money for, or make some nice trades.
