[QUOTE="w_earle_wheeler, post: 2993896, member: 35955"] My personal feeling is that costs for RPG books have been inflated to slightly unrealistic levels. Because of this, I buy high-price RPG books from Amazon.com. I use the money that I save to purchase smaller books from my FLGS. For example, I buy all of my Dungeon Crawl Classic modules from my local store, but I buy all of my WOTC books from Amazon.com. Honestly, the only reason I buy from a brick-and-mortar store at all is because I want to support this particular store and owner. For high-price items that are not being sold through Amazon.com, I am willing to wait 2 years and pick them up as used books. By not selling through Amazon.com at a discount, those publishers won't get my money for those products (since buying through the secondary market doesn't end up in their pockets). Please understand that I don't find any fault with the decisions of these publishers. I understand their position and wish them the best -- I hope the succeed! Rappan Athuk and Ptolus look like great products, and I bear the publishers no ill will over the fact that they are currently out of my price range! :) [/QUOTE]
