For d20 products in the past two years I have bought 2 books higher then 30.00 dollars and neither were impluse buys. One was traveller d20 and the other forgotten realms. Everything else was between 20-30 dollars.For non-d20 I have bought 3 hard to get books and one Novel and I had to order online to get my hands on them because nobody around me carried and that was first 3 books for Lejendary Adventure by Gary Gygax; all 3 were 24.95 with black and white art.So I am a impluse buyer and nothing I bought only 2 books which cost over 30 dollars and 30 dollars is big chuck of what I have left in one weeks check, after I paid everything else. If regular books reach 40 dollars or more I be buying less and less, just because I cannot afford it right now.I think they if it is a outstanding book aka Traveller with alot of usuable info, 45 to 50 dollars is fair, but it would have to be outstanding in my eyes. An maybe that is the problem every gamer has differnet thoughts and thresholds on how much is to much. Of course right now I have been laid on and off from my job for a year now and I do union work. So my impluse buys have to be researched before I buy since money is way tight. So has the ecomony here in the Us had a impact on the number of sales and/or profit? I think the publishers need to make money to live and write more quality stuff and bring it to us. Even though if I had the money to start I would try to do it myself, so I am writing for enjoyment and home world. Now if I could find a good free pdf maker <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> The only other question is Wotc does not up there prices or stays the same how does this affect6 3rd party publishers.</blockquote>
