Spelljammer Amazon.ca has Spelljammer 5e for 40% off

Possibly Canada has a different retail tax system? It isn't really possible for UK retailers to compete with tax-dodging Amazon.

In Italy there is an enforced cap of 5% on books discounts. However, I think that it doesn't apply to imported books; Radiant Citadel (in English) is currently on pre-order for €25.26 on Amazon.it

Nice for the people who know they want to get it. I have one player who might buy it. I won't, but I didn't care for Spelljammer even back in the day... I'm waiting more for the Dragonlance material to see how it goes.

Nah. Canada's tax system is "add 5% GST on AFTER you decide to buy". Confuses people used to a VAT all the time. (It says $55! Why am I paying $57.75?) We're used to it.

5% is a lot lower than the UK, which I think is currently 20%. Really no chance to compete with someone who ships from an offshore tax haven.

Very true, but if that isn't like that everywhere, we shouldn't be used to it, but Canadians get used to stuff that is not in our interest far too easily.

Man, I wish Amazon.com would do SOME kind of discount.

 

[Swarmkeeper]

I refuse to buy any of my D&D books from Amazon. I'd rather pay a premium to the people I know than save a few bucks to help send a billionaire into space.

Some of us don't have the luxury to make that choice.

As great as that sale is, it doesn't give me access to the Alt-Covers.

Oh really? Sorry, but if the choice is between an RPG book for 49.95 from the LFGS and an RPG book discounted to 34.95 from Amazon... one actually does have many a luxury in life. I think I'll leave it at that.
