In a lot of cases the market is saturated.There's a limited market for this stuff, and I don't think that market is growing at the moment. So once everybody who wants a copy of XYZ book has gotten one, the price of that book drops. If, at the same time, more people are finding old copies to sell, the price will drop quicker.The other aspect of this is that antiques and collectibles in general go through cycles of waxing and waning interest. The gaming hobby, at least as far as collecting goes,  is still too young to have experienced this yet, but other types of antiques and collectibles experience cycles of 20 years or more as new generations of collectors discover the stuff; buy it up, then eventually lose interest and move on to something else.Carl</blockquote>
