Define "successfully" first... ;)

Then you are clearly not in the market, since you are by definition a "bargain" shopper. I shop Amazon for gaming materials all the time. What's the point of your last sentence here? Trying to suggest that Necromancer is going to go under because they aren't selling RA:R there? Another dig at...

Thanks Tenkar! That's my point but you said it much more succinctly. Expectations should be different for these items, and what I'm seeing is the opposite - that people expect to be able to get this like any other item. And that's not the case.

Those were your words. Expecting something for less technically... And it has nothing to do with being elite. It has to do with wanting a rare item and being willing and able to pay for it. Obviously, you do not fall into that category for this item, plain and simple. In marketing terms, a...

If you have read through the entire thread, then you know that this is a super-luxury item, as all gaming products are luxury items to begin with. Sellers of (super)luxury items control the market - if you are a customer, you have to make the effort to attain that luxury item. Necro has said...

One of the reasons I avoid buying core books for games is a lack of published adventures, especially when it's a new genre for me. I simply don't have the time to make my own trial-and-error adventures, so I look for some support that I can use as a starting point. When I don't see that, I...

Wow! Just proves my point about the luxury items example. If you want an Enzo Ferrari, there's only 400 399 in the world. If you want RA:R, there's only 1000 in the world. Gutsy perhaps, but very honorable.

Well, for me, the answers are as follows: Cost. The auctions for companies that I know and love are just too expensive for what you get. I've already ordered RA:R, and have Monte's book. I'd rather spend that $200 on gaming books I don't have. Wrong genre. I'm a D&D player. While I've...

I think I saw "Mayhem in Foozleberg: Reloaded" available for 52% off on Amazon if you preorder... (couldn't resist) :p

And those that consider it worth that price will make sure to acquire a copy (i.e. preordering). This is exactly how the market works, but few people will admit this. Bravo Mercule! :)

But that's *not* the case for luxury items. That is a seller's market. Believe me, I would have loved to order my custom RX8 from the car dealer down the street, but that didn't happen, and I had to find a dealer who could accomodate me. When I want authentic italian proscuitto, I have to...

More and more I'm seeing this attitude on these boards - that the consumer is basically getting screwed by companies because the consumer can't get their product at the price they want, at the specific shop they want, exactly when they want it. Gaming products are not necessities - they are...

Now I'm intrigued. I did preorder, and I'm cool with getting it in the mail, but I'm really interested in hearing these reasons now. It was a nice surprise when Malhavoc offered to do this for Ptolus and I'm assuming they had some similar hurdles to overcome. So, can you tell us what the...

A very happy birthday Gary! Without you, we wouldn't be here. All hail the Father of the Game!

NO, NOT BLACK LEAF! NO, NO!

Many thanks Treebore!

But does the GenCon stock include the pre-orders? If we pre-ordered are we able to pick up our copies at the con?

OK, so I preordered RAR as well as Ptolus, and I find out that the preorders of Ptolus will be available for pickup at GenCon. Has anyone heard anything similiar from White Wolf about Rappan?

That's really cool Emirikol - I'm going to have to steal this for future use! :D

"If any of the human or animal figures are removed from their niche and placed on the floor of this vault, the item will grow to living dimensions inmmediately (2 segments) and spirits of the ancestors will animate the creature and it will attack." "This is the body of Tloques-popolocas, the...
