I don't know who's paying that, but it's a lot more than I'm willing
to shell out.  It's the eBay phenomenon; people hate to lose auctions,
so things sell for a lot more than they would in a bricks-n-mortar store.

I've managed to collect almost all of the Metagaming line in the past
couple of years, and I don't think I overpaid for any of it.  The single
biggest item was The Ythri ($25 including shipping), but that's a large-
format game.

Reasonably priced items are out there if you're patient.  I picked up
the following for $54 (including shipping) a while back:

> Death Test 2
> Grail quest

> G.E.V.
> Treasure of the Unicorn Gold
> Sticks & Stones
> Dragons of Underearth

So it can be done.
