[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 5373007"] Being poor is expensive. I'm not, but it's a useful phrase in this regard. DDI is 6.95 if you sign up for a whole year. that's $70 in an annual dump. Books are 10-15 on ebay, in poor condition, or in bulk. Once again, bulk deals are cheap per item, but like an annual DDI sub, expensive in one drop. Bulk minis are always resold, or pre-opened by the seller, the expensive ones sold for high prices, and the cheap ones sold in lots like you found. Once again, cheap per mini, but a good drop for the whole lot. 100 50c-$1 minis is about $75. My point in the rest of that post was that DDI is incredibly cheap, even with an annual sub, compared to the cost of even two MSRP-cost books. My point was also that people seemed to be acting like WotC did not have a right to sell their product, and that everything they do should be for the greater "fun" of the gaming community. I wanted to remind them that WotC is first and foremost, a for-profit company, and nothing they do is done without profit being the primary motive. But yes, there are plenty of ways to get around the rather high MSRP cost on WotC products. [/QUOTE]
