Not really, IMHO.  The last few on Ebay (prior to the 3 up now, one of which • is
mine) went for $76 (currently still shows up on completed-item searches), and • 2
for around $100 each, if I recall correctly.  The market is no longer • saturated
from the Busy Bee cache, it appears.  I'm not sure it's rebounded to previous
prices, but getting pretty close.

I'm more than familiar with the idea of profiteering having weathered my
daughter's TY Beany Baby phase, and I understand the concept that if someone
didn't buy up all of those sets and then hold back until the market was ready
in such a way that people who weren't interested when the item was originally
for sale still have access to a "new" set, I just really wish that TLG would
take the hint and return the market price of some of these sets (especially
trains) to some measure of normalcy by reissuing old lines.
