It would be interesting to see some of these rarities and unpublished works find their way onto RPGNow or Lulu or even compiled onto a CD like Far Future Enterprises did a few years ago with a lot of the more common Traveller items.

From those buyers I'd been in contact with many months back via the seller's feedback list (after they ignored my inquiries, then blocked me, eBay took no action, then made all their listings private), quite a few were well aware they were buying illegal copies at a few bucks a time.
