We'll see how my auction does, and that should give a better idea about the market for Tact-Tiles.  If a bunch of the tiles become available, then the price should drop dramatically.  I'm hoping for enough to buy some of the gaming stuff on my list, but I'm also happy to be making some space on my shelf.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
