Not sure how things will be in a few years , but used copies of this game and expansions right now will easily get you nearly double what you paid for it on Ebay if they are out of stock . It has been that way for OOS stuff for a while . The trick is to not get too greedy , but I sold my original core box way back in April for $ 300 over what I paid for it , and it was opened and assembled . Even though I made money on it , I regretted selling it and recently reacquired the game and most of the expansions . In fact , it is really easy to make money on niche board games that have relatively low print runs and go out of print , and being used doesn ' t affect the price much since most people buying on eBay are buying to play . Out of print board games has probably made me more money on eBay than anything else I ' ve sold . That said , $ 1666 for a game is not something I can personally justify spending .
