Quoted from MrSanRamon:People in California usually say that because everything needs to be shipped in; and when games were $1500 shipping was a really big expense.
So not many games came to Cali then...so now it's really a sellers market here...then people in other parts of the country raise their prices because they see what people in Cali are spending, then the prices in Cali go even higher...cause shipping just went up too.
It's a circle, fed by new prices of 6 to 8k.
Your comment/question is common by people that live back east where there are a whole lot of machines, you can usually drive to get.

You are right about living in the east. I think we're in the best spot of the country for buying/selling/trading. I've bought or sold within 6 hours drive of my house. Makes for some nice day trips.
