My new retirement plan: boardgame speculation

[inverarity]

Fantasy Flight Games just announced that its relationship with Games Workshop is ending, meaning that many popular boardgame titles it has licensed will soon be out of print.

I'd been wanting to pick up Chaos in the Old World for a while. Though I have only played it a couple of times, and I think its spiritual successor, Cthulhu Wars, is a better game (albeit a much, much more expensive one), I decided I might as well go ahead and order it, just in case it became hard to get later.

Well, it turns out "later" was less than 24 hours after I placed my order. It's now sold out everywhere.

My copy arrived today:



The same day I saw this:



Damn, I should have snagged a few more copies.

Whoa. Of course, just because someone's optimistically offering it for that price doesn't mean anyone's fool enough to buy it for that price. You and my brother would get along great, I think. He has an entire room in his house filled floor to ceiling with bookshelves of RPG games, manuals, figures, and equipment.
