I suppose if something is truly a collectors item then yes. Even if I'm searching for an original 1966 edition to collect it yes. To purchase a book for reference purposes (which is what most people are looking for in acquiring this book) then no. I can understand paying thousands for a first pressing of a Charles Dickens book to collect it, but I can also just go buy a cheap used copy or even download it for a free to just read it.

No the rights holders are not making money on resales. If I buy a painting though I typically own the rights to reproduce it for art books and posters etc... If I buy a used book it's illegal to reproduce it, since I don't own the content. The rights holders can reproduce it and undermine the resellers market of crazy overpricing.

That is a cool scanner though. For $300 though I'll take my $150 large format Epson.
