I have an almost full run of Wraith and Changeling.  Most of the books I've picked up have been BIN's on eBay and used bookstore finds (while some places realize now the D&D is worth something, they think the newer stuff is worthless, ditto with White Wolf stuff).
Still need 2 kithbooks and Land of 8 Million Dreams though...

Online as well as brick-and-mortar (in Cinnaminson on Route 130, as well as up in West Windsor near Princeton):  http://www.gamersrealm.com/

Thanks, I went there yesterday.  All the old stuff is in terrible condition and at regular prices.

I never realized that stuff like Ravenloft and Dragonlance were so much money.  I get irritated when I'm stuck paying $6.00 for a mint Ravenloft/Dragonlance/Al-Qadim/Spelljammer book and here theyre selling crappy ones for $21.  No wonder TSR went out of business.  eesh

But hey, more miniatures though.  I swear I'm drowning in them now...

But unfortunately the seller doesn't want to sell at that price. Claims he (or ebay) forgot to put in a reserve and doesn't want to sell those supposedly precious LGJ at at this price.

Any advice guys?

He could have taken the auction down at any time up untl the last day even, bids or no bids.  He did not.  

You cant force him to sell the stuff but you can report him to ebay and after 89 days slap a negative feedback on his a$$.

I think everyone gets stuck selling an item that doesnt go for what you are hoping for.  I know it happens to me quite often.  Those are the breaks.

If he wants to avoid negative feedback, he doesn't have much of a choice but to send them to you at the price you paid for them.  After all, the auction is completed, and as such this is a legally binding contract according to ebay's rules.  Anything less would be unacceptable.

A forgotten reserve price?  Too bad.  As others have noted, he could have yanked the auction at any time before the end of it.  He didn't, and therefore he has to deal with the consequences.

Some recent finds while eveyrone was distracted by the Sutherland auctions:

*g*.

I could've sworn that was both after DCS's auctions and listed on the "interesting items" thread (to one's chagrin, it appeared).

*Still* a good purchase, however.

i haven't had any spectacular finds on ebay recently, it's time to make the used book store rounds again.  anyone else had any luck with used book stores recently?  btw- if you live in ohio, i'm envious, i've always had the best luck in columbus...

A while back, someone asked to see proof of my Tsojconth find, so here it is:

I know that poster was joking, but I thought you'd all like to see it. I'm forcing you to look at a photo of my cats first, but that's the price you have to pay.

I deliberately took a low-quality photo instead of scanning the pages, because I don't want to make it easy for someone to print out good-looking forgeries. I found mine in a bargain bin, so I'm fairly certain it's genuine.

You also get to see my envelope from the old "The Dungeon Hobby Shop". I don't know if it's a serious collectible, but it is fun. I was wondering if anyone else had one of these, or if there was more than one type.
