Could this be due to the new reprints? Fading boomers? Happenstance?

Not sure if DOC is selling FOR less, but there is sure less DOC for
SALE on eBay.
For a long time, you could run an item check on eBay and find about
300 DOC SAVAGE items for sale. From 1998 until about 2005, this was a
pretty constant number -- a couple of times it topped 400, every now
and then it dropped into the high 200s.
In 2006 the number of DOC SAVAGE items available on eBay started
dropping into the 200s more often. By 2007 it rarely topped 300.
I ran a check this AM, and there were 189 DOC SAVAGE items listed for
sale on eBay -- the lowest number I've seen in the nearly ten years
I've watched it.
As to the effects of new reprints on prices -- I don't really see it,
DOC paperback reprints continue their slow climb in price,and if
reprints were going to affect price, I'd think the opposite would be
true.

Thanks for the input, Dave.
I wonder if Amazon is capturing some of the Doc market from Ebay?
Amazon is hosting more pictures now. Even some Advanced Book Exchange
dealers are posting pictures of some books, along with other book
sites.

Conde Nast has taken some steps towards returning Doc Savage to the
public eye. Remember back in December of 2006 when a rumor hit of a
Sam Raimi movie featuring multiple Street & Smith pulp characters [IGN
was the first up with the rumor]? A week after the rumor hit, it was
confirmed that Sam Raimi did have the rights to The Shadow and was
working [with Sony] on a new film.
Well, the same day the rumor hit [but before the movie was confirmed]
Harry Knowles of AICN commented on the rumor. And relayed a piece of
information that I have not seen mentioned anywhere since.
