Is it just me or does there seem to be a lot of listings on ebay for spare parts for the new D&D Board Games? When I search ebay I typically go to the D&D category and check Newly Listed... just seems over past week or so there's been an awful lot of spare parts for Castle Ravenloft, Legend of Drizzt and Wrath of Ashardalon listed.

Don't want to criticize too much cause who knows I may need some in future (I own Castle Ravenloft) but are there really that many people possibly looking for these to warrant having so many listings? Or am I missing something?

I suppose they can be used in normal rpg sessions...

They tear up the games and sell the parts for more than the game. You can always use some spare parts in case of damage, bigger board areas, etc.....but the end reason is $$$. More for the parts than the assembled game.

+1 ... I have purchased a complete set of replacement items that may/will be damaged over time just by playing the game. It's cheaper to just buy those than an entire new box. You can also print out new (different) tiles on adhesive sheets and put them on the replacement tiles to add additional content to your game. BUT...as Zen said, its all about the $$$
