Half-Price Books . . . your source for liquidated books!

[philreed]

I checked three different stores yesterday and all three had the same large batches of liquidated D&D books (all books priced at $13/each).

DMGII
Five Nations
Explorer's Handbook
Stormwrack
Frostburn
Waterdeep
Magic of Incarnum


And a host of "Races of . . . "

So anyone that has been tempted by some of these . . . well, you know what to do.

Earlier this year they had the first D&D Boxed set (witht the black dragon) also. It was selling for like $9. Should have just bought them all.

I'll need to check, I don't have some of those!

So what are these mystery stores? I need Stormwrack and DMGII!

Yep, I went 1/2 price booking day before yesterday up here in Dallas and everyone of them had the books you listed. I was surprised to see them liquidated already. Also saw Heroes of Battle, Heroes of Horror, and Weapons of Legacy as well.

That can't say how well WotC is gauging the market demand for the splatbooks and second-tier "core" books....

I noticed the same thing up here on Monday. Snagged me a DMGII. They also had stacks of the boxed set.

Did you read the subject line?

EDIT: Actually, HPB isn't as nationwide as I thought (they're only in 14 states, I guess they just happen to include all the ones I'm in frequently). Half Price Books (no hyphen, BTW) is the actual name of a large bookstore chain, not just a description of what they had.

EDIT THE SECOND: What part of Pennsylvania are you in? Apparently they have two stores in Pittsburgh (you don't want to know how I nearly misspelled that) and one in someplace called Bethel Park.

I'm a bit lucky - there's one that's a nice walk (when it isn't crazy hot) from Rice University. I meant to stop there today. Maybe if the paper I should be writing right now goes well I'll take a break and pop over there.

I badly miss Half Price Books. They aren't a national chain, not quite yet. But they're getting there. I need Stormwrack, which makes this even more frustrating.

Ditto for me. I loved Half-Price when I lived in California and Wisconsin, but they haven't made their way East yet. Made many good purchases at that chain...
