And by "review", you mean "HP Scanjet 6100c coupled with Dell Inspiron XPS13"

Amazon's often a little wonky on out-of-print books though.



This new copy is significantly cheaper, for instance,but the shipping would be killer.



The cheapest in-the-US copy of a new book seems to be this one, at $28.  It looks to drop to about $23 if you go used.



Though MM5 really just seems to be a bit of an aberration, possibly from being an end-of-line product, when compared to the other 3.x MM's (where auctions often end in the $5 to $15 range).  I spot no completed auctions of it the past 30 days save a collection of all 5 MMs that didn't sell at $75 and the UK guy who sold a bunch of them at his asking BIN price.



It really just seems to be a handful of 3.x products that are retaining their value.  Even the 3.x Fiend Folio, which a little while back was a sure-fire seller, has dropped to below $10 on eBay.



(Edit: screwed up the shipping on the first one.  Damn.)

That's the one.

if you're in the UK, and live near a FLGS (or can order thru the distributor direct) , you might be interested to know that the main distributor in the UK is offerring DELUXE 4th edition books at £10.80 ($15) each atm.

Dumping them already - not a good sign...

Cheers,

Hi Malc,

I've checked my FLGS recently and they don't do D&D, who is the distributor, out of interest (forgive my ignorance, if it's obvious...)  

Cheers

Hiya,

its dubious, imo, whether or not it counts as a FLGS if it doesnt stock D&D, but there we go

The distributor is Esdevium, the largest of the 2 games distributors in the UK.

I have a few, so if you are venturing to Dragonmeet we can sort something out there?

Cheers,
Malc

Hi,

picked up a nice gold lady of pain belt buckle at Dragonmeet today

Watched the pathfinder Limited (1 of 72) and pathfinder bestiary limited go quite high in the auction. They were very shiny... but I didnt bid.

Cheers,
Malc

ShaneG.

The limited ones go to 11

I definitely can't complain about the price on this:

Last couple of times I bid on one of these they topped out above $70.  Merry Christmas to me.
