[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 1725231, member: 2209"] I am inherently frugal, thrifty, well let's just say it, cheap. I am also a bit obsessive in my desire to have rpg materials. This means I rarely spend a lot on rpg purchases in any month and everything I get is on sale or to round out a free shipping requirement on an amazon order. The last new book I bought was Complete Warrior and DLCS when they were at 60% off. My decisions are now whether or not I get the used Creature Collection II that is going for 11.50 including shipping and handling. I want it, but I've got so little shelf space and time for extra reading. So do I justify it to myself? Its in my shopping cart where it will likely stay until September when I allow myself a new monthly splurge purchase, although I might prefer to get the $10 pdf Horrors of the Wierd West since pdfs are more likely to be used by me. But it is only half the size of CCII. These types of debates will keep me occupied for a while. The last game book I bought at full price was back in 2e days. I don't mind waiting for things to drop in price significantly or even to wait for the pdf option. My big splurges were when there was the ENPub $1 sale, the GM's day sale, and the Malhavok anniversary sale. I probably picked up 30 pdfs for under $100 over a three month period with those three sales. [/QUOTE]
