Other than tracking corrections, there is no particular point to having them.The blue maps are the work of a separate volunteer. Whether we'll see more and on what schedule isn't known.

Those previous files are useful if you want the hand drawn version of the maps before they get converted into the blue ones on the next release.I can sort of see this project going places if the author keeps it up and interest builds. This is just the kind of quality work that starts under the radar and then keeps getting better and better because the author keeps following through with more material. Get some of the current artists doing work for OSRIC, LL, and S&W to make a few illustrations, then make the pdf available as a POD on Lulu in either soft or hard back. Anyone with some Greyhawk clout (grodog) want to see if the author will move down this road? Cheers!

If anyone knows of other parts, I'd be interested to learn about it.

Then again, this may be the peak and prices may level off lower. That's the gamble, and the odds are it's in Trigee's hands whether the price levels out or continues to rise. If they reprint (or rumour a reprint of expansion) or if they release a PDF, them maybe we've seen the high price point. If CZ:UW days are gone, and it is no more, then these set may become very rare and expensive in the future.By comparison, we know Necromancer published 1000 copies (+/- 50 or so) of Rappan Athuk Reloaded. It's price is kinda stable at about $180 in mint condition, and we're 5 years+ down the line from it's release. There is a PDF continually on discount online, and a range of supporting product of equal quality (although they're not specifically linked into any campaign). The product is larger in it's scome, and equal in quality, subject to discussion (meaning it's close enough that a discussion can be had either way. We're not talking Castle Whiterock here).So here is a fair benchmark. A similarly presented product of a similar quality and a known printrun size, selling at 2.4x it's original retail price and reletively stable at that.CZ:UW has the benefit of being authored, at least in part, by EGG (by all accounts back at the top of his game as far as 'old school D&D' authoring goes). It has a print run of possibly half that of RAR, no available PDF, and possible never to be republished. That accounts for the 5x retail price ceiling we've seen, but there is currently no proven supply or demand, so your long term guess is as good as mine.I for one would love a PDF release, but then that's just to save me having to put in the work myself. As it is, I'd say $200 is well wotrth paying for CZ:UW. It is probably the finest piece of writing Ive seen in the last 10 years.

I would have thought a few to have sold at around the $100 level but it has consistently sold at around $130 and more recently at $200 ($199 I believe). Looking toward the future (at a five year distance now about 4 and 1/2 years) I think a going rate might be $250 to $300 which is what I am pricing mine at now.
