For free, I promise.. what's the harm in that? Everyone is doing it."take a cue from pushers and dealers. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />See if they are willing to try it for 3 sessions as a side-trek from their normal campaign.   Using the quick start rules (from DDXP that is online) or stuff from Keep of the Shadowfall.  And make it clear that this is just a few one shots because you wanted to try it but then afterwards they can go back  to the main campaign - don't make then have to put in any money or effort in their willingness to 'try it out' it will make them all the more hesitant to agree to that first step of testing the waters.If they like it they'll make their ow reasons for liking it rather than listening to the reasons that you like it.You may want to coordinate with the DM (if it's not you) so that you aren't introducing this in the middle of stuff when he's trying to keep momentum and instead do it at an 'inbetween spot' of the campaign.Also, it sounds like the other issue here is they don't want the hassle of selling and buying books.  First see if they like it (from testing the waters on the quick start rules) and by then, used or 'still new' books will start appearing for sale on amazon and ebay.I wouldn't be surprised if ppl are buying the 3-book gift set from amazon (a huge discount comparatively) and reselling the still new books inidvidually for slightly less than retail value. So there will be stuff of good quality to find at slightly cheaper prices.After all, no need to change _right now_ you have between june 6 and the release of 5e to decide whether or not to switch <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />Plus, if some people like their bards, druids, barbarians, they will be even more hesitant that those classes aren't released yet.And if they don't like it, be prepared to just accept that and continue with the fun you can have with 3.5.</blockquote>
