I'm figuring they don't actually have the vast majority of those, and when they get lucky and someone clicks buy, they buy it elsewhere and ship to the customer with tremendous profit.

The seller would only make a tremendous profit if the buyer just so happens to have $1,872.21 they feel like spending for a non-mandatory book and doesn't mind paying that amount instead of the $8 they can buy it for elsewhere. Otherwise, this is a non-issue.
