I've seen the same thing happen with Coyote Buttes permits. Last I heard about 2 years ago the going price for the wave was as low as $150.

The nation's third-most visited park has only 900 reserved campsites available at any given time. They go for $20 a night but scalpers advertising on Craigslist are offering them for $100 or more — sometimes for hundreds of dollars.


They're also selling permits to climb Half Dome, which the park essentially issues for free.
