[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7994983, member: 6716779"] Demand perhaps. Early in 4E 3.5 books spiked in value above the rrp. eBay iirc had them second hand at $30-$50. They were expensive briefly 2008/9. 4E books you kind of have to give them away. At least the core books. 4E initial print run and she's might have been great but collapsed quickly once people figured it out. I've got 2 4E PHB in great condition. Barely used. IIRC around when 5E launched online tables 3.5 was still being played. From 2010 it was Pathfinder as well irl. I had American friends who went back to America and they were asking what happened. Plenty of photos were also posted online with pallets of Pathfinder, gamestores selling PF and not 4E. Lifetime sales of 4E might be higher because of that sales bump 2008/9. The collapse started first year PF came out though and was mostly complete/,beyond dispute by 2011. 2010 was when the early signs were something wrong was going down beyond the complaining and moaning online. Hell work on 5E was leaked 2011. Became official early 2012 iirc. [/QUOTE]
