$125? Amazon is showing me $209.
When mine wore out [1], I replaced it with the international edition. Exact same text, but paperback instead of hardback. Around $30 with shipping. Amusingly, I could either have bought from a dealer in India for around $10, with $20 shipping, or from a dealer in the US for around $25 with $5 shipping.
Good sources for international editions of textbooks are abebooks.com an biblio.com.
[1] since I don't actually use calculus much, I tend to forget it. Every few years I get tired of living with the shame, and re-read Apostol (although once I did Spivak for variety).
