T2K on eBay

[Raellus]

Having stupidly unloaded all of my T2K stuff back in college ("The Cold War's over; I'll never use any of this stuff again..."), a couple of years ago, I replaced most of it using eBay.

Anyway, I can't seem to make any sense of the prices listed for some T2K items. I wonder who sets these prices. Obviously, supply and demand has something to do with it, but I wonder who determines what the available supply is and what the demand is for it. I can't image that demand for a 25 year old Cold War RPG is that high, but some of the prices seem to suggest that it is.

For example, I'm looking for a copy of the RDF Sourcebook. They start at $22.

I wouldn't mind having a copy of the v1 NATO Vehicle Guide. They start at $44!

On the other hand, some of the adventure modules are going for around $3.

So, if you need a few bucks and you have a copy of either of the above, put it on eBay.
