[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 1563508, member: 957"] Wow, was WS really that high? I know I started balking when the prices started moving over $5. And I know I bought a lot for less than $6. I've bought maybe like 2 things ever at $9+. I am 3 miles down the road from you, in Decatur. Try graduating in Sept 1992, like I did, when the economy really was in recession. Walking out of college has never been a magic wand for a big job. I know people who have given up finding quality employees, so I guess it is just a matter of perspective. Without getting into politics, the economic numbers are good. (and, no, I won't respond to challenges of this) Which is all beside the point. My on topic point is that I think that the decline from the super highs in the D20 market were long predicted because they were completely predictable. Thus, I do not see any basis in claiming now that the larger economy is responsible for something that "everybody" knew was coming regardless of what the economy did. Because it is still an emerging market and the expectations are not established. My perspective is that the prices of PDFs have gone up significantly over the past two or so years. As such, I quit buying them. This is a completely different factor that only applies to e-publishing. I think that PDF sales are down significantly more than print sales are. And this is because the factors are different. This makes it a different discussion entirely. [/QUOTE]
