I ask 'cause you've had some experience on the retail end of things.
I don't get it...

The rest of the items on the list are Kosmos 2-player games. Maybe he's just updating his prices to reflect price changes that Queen and Kosmos have made, themselves?

Which is all well and good if these are top-selling titles that need to be continually replenished to remain available and in stock- standing inventory has been paid for already. And I'm sure there's plenty of standing inventory for many of these titles.
However...from a business perspective, it seems like the better thing to do would be to axe these weak sellers and stick to proven sellers and new titles...I just can't believe we're talking a $10 price increase in games that most retailers can't give away.
And there's also the fact that many of these have been on Tanga a few times already...

Probably not- everyone knows Jay by name and loves him...he's probably "done so much for the hobby", unlike those nameless, satanic businessmen that run Mayfair.
BIG difference in raising MSRP and paying MSRP.

Step 2 - Get the Geeks to buy all the games "while they can get them cheaper".
Step 3 - Empty warehouse as distributors order more of these suddenly hot games.
Step 4 - Count profit you wouldn't otherwise have.

On the flip side, they can't seem to keep TI3, M'44, Arkham Horror and Descent in stock.
