    Quoted from Rarehero:

    Supply started drying up years ago. Craigslist used to have TONS of games from "casual owners/non-hobbyists". That has dried up. Operators and auctions are out of "old crap" to sell. All the old games that were bought my collectors/resellers were repaired/restored...some were kept in collections, some were sold to new collectors. More collectors + finite supply = less to buy!

    = higher prices

    Quoted from DCfoodfreak:

    Lots of us came in 2-4 years ago in the recent boom. For a good while tons of trading games but now everyone I know like myself has rotated enough that we are down to our keepers.
    I just don't want to sell anything. Just happy with my games.

    Yep, pretty much where I am at too.

    It's an interesting situation to be in though. Knowing what pins I really like makes it harder to sell any of them, but I still want to keep trying new pins as that is a huge part of the addiction to this hobby.

    I didn't think I would have any interest in KISS as a theme, but the pin looks it will look great. I'm intrigued. And of course GoT will be next, and that's a theme I love too. And Alien is coming. Some pins will have to move out of here to make room.
