Supply and demand determines the value of books as it does the value of anything
else we buy.  Unless you want a bunch of pretty books to line the walls and
unless you really want the xxx number of books in the set, don't buy any pre-packaged series of books.  If you really decide
to consider buying the set, make sure that you get a list of titles in the set
and see if you can buy each volume one at a time with the right to cancel the
remaining volumes at any time.

You are better off collecting a particular author, series that you like, subjector small press books.  Small press editions tend to retain their value but even that can be risky when you
consider what happened to the Stephen King small press book.
