Some booksellers do what they do professionally, which means they make a living at what they do. And fair market value means the value at which copies generally sell, dictated by demand. Demand sets the price, not greedy capitalism or a vampiric taste for blood. I don't think you'd disparage Oceanic Arts for charging what their services & goods are worth, so in the future kindly refrain from doing so where others are concerned. Eight hundred dollars is a far cry from a million dollars, and selling your copy for what you purchased it at doesn't make you a saint, it just means you're in a hurry to recoup your investment.
