I picked up the lion's share of my stuff long before the prices went sky-high, thank God. I remember buying almost the entire run of TSR boxed sets like Castles, Greyhawk Wars etc. plus a crapload of other boxed sets, modules and magazines from a bookseller in Illinois for $300. After that I had to have it all.Then I didn't. I determined that anything that was going to collect dust for the next 25 years was out the door. I'm much happier now that I have limited my focus.Off topic, does anyone remember CougarRetard's name? I'm pretty sure it was him I bought Misty Isles, Infernax and Necromican from. Grand total of $100 shipped.

Almost all of us gamed like mad in high school and then dropped our gaming when we went off to college. (I started again three years into college.)
