Over the next 5 years, there will still be lots of D20 stuff flooded onto the market at rebate prices. Although it all depends on what you mean by the price is going up. I recently bought 2 copies and the selling price is about $7 each, $10 after shipping. I don't think I would have much trouble making the $10 back but selling them for $20 is probably going to be a stretch and cover price I think is unimaginable.

Something like this seem to me to be in the 200 to 300 printing rangeIf this is 1,000 copies, then I agree, it is going to take awhile for the demand to outpace the supply. Couple of hundred, then I see this supply drying up in the next two years and after that it becomes a collectable.

I would give it a 10-year chance to become a collectible rather than 2-3 years...it's a small press publication no one has heard about with no cachet, it will take a lot of time for people to realize what it is, and that it's getting harder to find. Remember, kick ass stuff like Midkemia and Companions products, the same sort of small press but in the 80s, took about a decade to be sought after and rise in price. I was still picking up most Midkemia stuff in mint condition when I got on Ebay in the late 90s for cover or less. Mike B.

Mars wrote:This is true but that usual equates to selling maybe 20 copies.Even if the print run was only 200 copies, I would bet the seller has over 100 left. I think the real question is how long will it be before they get tired of listing and selling copies for $7 and then fade into obscurity.
