Serious question, what is it with single prices in the US? I just clicked on Exquisite Blood it shows an average price of 44$, like a serious tournament staple like Karn, Liberated, however, if you check European sites you can find it for 12-15€ on average, and it was just around 22€ at its highest... I think you guys are getting ripped off by unscrupulous sites, really.

For europe you have to select the correct language for the card (which is basically english).
Other languages like spanish are most of the time much cheaper, as nobody really wants them (and dealing with spanish sellers has a pretty high risk you wont see the card ever arrive and dealing with that is incredible annoying).

But yes, a lot of cards have a pretty substantial value difference in different markets.
You can make some bucks if you are on vacation in other areas and bring a bunch of more expensive cards to sell or buy them.
Buying cards and ship them over that distance is expensive, so you need to buy from a trustworthy source if you want to do that and stores are basically always more expensive than a private seller that badly needs the money (or stole the cards and quickly wants to dump them).
----
In the end lots of value is driven by the heavy demand of EDH / Commander players, as they buy a lot more singles and not only the top-notch format cards.
And if someone bought a EDH / Commander they tend to keep the cards and not resell them quickly after, as people often slowly buy singles over time a market can dry up and increase the price tags.
A card like Exquisite Blood is the perfect example for that. It was never reprinted, does a lot of work for casual Commander decks, has a vampire theme and even combos with a bunch of newer cards like Aetherflux Reservoir and its enchantment pals like Sanguine Bond.
As demand increases, the market gets more expensive over time.
For format staples in Constructed demand usually skyrockets quickly after some success and only stays high if the deck keeps performing well.
For EDH / Commander cards the value usually only goes up, and only goes down if the card gets reprinted in high numbers (which is the case for this card, so the value will be absolutely crushed down).
