[QUOTE="Rygar, post: 6240552, member: 6756765"] Yes, potentially. With 5th edition becoming imminent, it's entirely possible that D&D is back in the public's mind. Some may have asked the the recent stuff for Christmas, it's also very possible the reprints were a common christmas list item. 4th edition may have had a run on it out of fear that DDI is going to be cut, I've also heard rumors that alot of the later material had low print runs, so that would make it prime speculator product. Very low availability D&D items go for large amounts, like the Silver Anniversery products in the hundreds of dollars and Palace of the Silver Princess going for thousands. Remember, apparently alot of 4th edition fans were dependent on DDI for playing the game instead of books, so it's *very* likely that should WOTC kill the Character Builder, those books would skyrocket in value. So many 4th edition fans seem to have eschewed the books for DDI that it's a near certainty that there aren't sufficient books for the dedicated 4th edition playerbase if the Character Builder disappears.
