Basic Fantasy 4th Ed Sales across various platforms

[Brendan Byrd]

The sales across platforms is definitely interesting and, yeah, really underscores that, at the end of the day, even for incredibly inexpensive titles like the Basic Fantasy books, people will go to Amazon and save a little more.

I wonder how much OSE sells in a month, as they're probably Basic Fantasy's closest competitor and are, I believe, more expensive across the board.

In my case, saving a few dollars off the cover price isn't my motivation. I'll scrimp on the Amazon shipping, since I rarely need instant gratification.

Like @Jahydin, I was already set up on that platform, and can pay for stuff using gift cards (they don't have my cc info.; I don't buy enough from there to justify giving it to them.)
You can set up an account with only a gift card...and a gift card is how I came to have an Amazon account.

I'll buy things from the FLGS even if it is more expensive than Amazon, on principle.
The FLGS's impressive selection does not include Basic Fantasy, and doesn't carry titles from DriveThruRPG. If that was possible, I'd let the FLGS handle the logistics for me.

I won't be opening an account with DTRPG any time soon for multiple reasons, among those are: tarriffs & boycotting...

I'm also curious about OSE sales, but it's probably difficult to compare the two products. BFRPG is free in PDF and sold at cost in POD. OSE is a commercial endeavor with much fancier layout and art and also has some limited edition hard-covers.
