I did a quick check of sold listings on Ebay. The GOUT Trilogy goes for about $75 on average, oftentimes more. There is demand, and you can’t pretend that its just hardcore fans. Each round of changes alienated and pissed off more and more people. Almost makes me wish Lucas had gotten to another revision- almost.
I got the trilogy for about $45 total from 2 different used video stores a few years back. I can only imagine that they’ve gotten harder to come by as time has gone on.
