I'm genuinely curious why some niche books are going for 1500 euros in some places online. Who's paying for this. Is the author making more money than if he printed on demand or something?

Limited editions.

That's it. Some books are printed in few hundreds of pieces and some even like in 12 copies. In such cases their price inevitably goes into insane hights. Can't deny that some of these editions are beautiful, but I personally only approve if cheaper version for actual practitioners who want to read and use it, is available.
