When the high-enders get their own copies of given titles
will they leave those alone in next time appearings or do they
gather everything they can get, even multiple times?
I think once the high rollers are out of the way the prices will come down.
Depends on the bidders though... I know
In any case though, I propose we start an investigation, and over time,
formulate a ever-growing list of these people and black list them so
That's a bad idea. Many of them simply collect this way, or do so
intentionally so that they can raise money to buy the software they've
always
Most people on this list are probably collecting for reasons other than
financial gain (though nothing wrong with collecting to sell for profit
or a mix, especially if the profit goes to buying more games). While
I'm no economic theorist, I think prices will settle down after a bit.
Why? As

would consider to be a fairly indepth piece on Sierra in it.

While I'm appreciative of the fact that my collection is increasing
in value, I don't see high prices as a good thing. I know I don't collect for
money... I wonder how many of us share your perspective? I'd much rather be able

I have never collected purely as an investment. I collect titles

I agree. There are already quite a few people on eBay who sweep up as

Oh, indeed! I didn't mean it that way. What I meant (but between the lines I
realize now) is that it kind of kills the market at times. In the end all
the bargains are gone, and all we're stuck with is some resellers who are
only in it for a huge lift-up. That is what I dislike. As long as we have

Yeah this is crazy. And concerning.
First the prices doubled and now there's been over
500% rise _from that_ in many titles recently.
Is it perhaps something to do with the Drash-appearings?
Anyways public awareness of these games and collecting urge
has rised significantly lately for some
