Tankobons are no longer $3-4 per volume unless you're buying it used at a BookOff. That might have been the case 3+ years ago, but the latest volume of Detective Conan was $8USD brand new at Kinokuniya; it retails for 440Yen ($5.50USD) in Japan. Deflation of the Yen to Dollar is a huge issue they're trying to stop as Japan needs to be able to export goods.

Now, putting aside economics, considering Kinokuniya is only adding about $2.50 for shipping, maintaining a brick and mortar store and paying their employees so I can buy manga - I don't mind paying the difference at all.
