I am noticing a bunch of 2e AD&D PDFs that used to be $9.99 are now $14.99 and $12.99, particularly a bunch of Planescape ones.

Classic Supply and Demand. Minus the supply side of the equation...

Inflation!
Or they are price point testing to see if going to the 2nd digit (i.e., > 9) will change people's buying behaviors.
I worked for a company years ago that did the same thing. We found a flat part of the demand curve where we could raise prices without decreasing purchases. It's kinda ruthless, but... yeah.

Not just 2e, some 1e and Basic ones too. I had noticed on the Infinite Staircase Bundle that a bunch with the 37% discount were still more expensive on discount than I remembered them being earlier this year.

I'm glad I picked up Temple of Elemental Evil back when it was (for some obscure reason) free.

I am reading that sales are plummeting so it's understandable if frustrating that prices rise to try and maintain enough to live on. For us, it's a hobby so our pricing is aimed for value without sacrificing quality, and our prices aren't changing any time soon... www.dunrominuniversitypress.co.uk

Yeah, WotC definitely needs to squeeze more. I mean, how are they going to keep the lights on otherwise?

You don’t leave money on the table as a business. Period.

No. Otherwise every game company would be making stuff for 5e and only 5e, since that sells the best.
