I was tempted to get this since last week:


** expired/removed eBay auction **




It re-listed, as no one picked it up. But I today I decided to check my local used bookstore down the room. Glad I did as I found a copy for $15, minus the dice, but I have plenty of those. CD was in great condition.



Also picked up Mark of Amber, another Mystara Audio CD Adventure for $9.



Glad I waited.

I think most of us here that are buyers live by this philosophy too.  We've been on Ebay long enough to know "another one will come around".  There are very few items where this may not apply (or we just haven't waited long enough yet).

Keep an eye on classifieds in your area too - you'd be surprised what you can pick up.

I picked up a Planescape lot a couple weeks ago with Hellbound, Conflict, Chaos and Campaign Setting boxes and Hallowed Ground, Planewalker's Handbook, In the Cage: Guide to Sigil and Faces of Evil books for $50.

Yesterday I picked up d20 DMG prepub for $20, Burnt Offerings for $20, run of 8 Gaz series for $35, Living Greyhawk Journal 1-4 and 10 Polyhedrons for $15, and some other stuff.

Don't get me wrong, I do my share of overspending but for mass produced stuff patience really is the key - you can still build a great collection this way.  The hunt is really half the fun too

Totally agree with Gnat on that price. I have bought two complete near mint copies over the years and re-sold them and either buying or selling, they went for between £3 and £8..
