D&D 4E whats up with 4e? is it dieing cuz it's cheep!

phb2 for example Player's Handbook 2: A 4th Edition D&D Core Ruleboo - eBay (item 220702316471 end time Feb-24-11 11:58:02 PST)
ok, it's more like $11.75
maybe I should have stated "resell value"
when I sold my phb2 two months ago I made double that on ebay.
Anyways lots of 4e books are cheep on ebay if you looked hard enough.
on another note things like phb3 are holding there value. but personally I liked phb2 more.

So somebody paid ~$23 for your PHB on Ebay? Too bad for them, they could have gotten a brand new PHB at Amazon for the same price. Which isn't too bad when you consider these books are a couple years old. Not very many books hold that kind of value after 2 years.

There's a lot of reasons they could be selling low without jumping to the conclusion that the game is dying. In fact, your observation that PHB3 is holding its value would indicate that the game is in fact not dying. Could be that WotC just printed too many. Could be that the market is being flooded with a bunch of used PHBs, driving new prices down too. Could be that Essentials is doing well enough to take a chunk of the "core" market. Could be sunspot activity.

Just curious...why'd you sell your PHB?

Because the game is dying. I read in on an intarweb forum.

That poor fellow is going to have such a headache from being struck in the head by lightning.

Didn't his mommy every tell him not to wear bling during a storm?

Heh...I guess the white box edition is more popular than World of Warcraft if eBay is any metric.

No.

A few reasons, mostly I'm not a huge fan of 4e, I'd rather play 3.5 and second 4e groups i play with; when there powers combine, they have all the books. :b

Also I regret the retarded title of this post...
