If you could buy advance copies of the core books now, how much would you pay?

[drothgery]

List price. But I'd need PHBs for everyone at in my gaming group as well as a DMG, MM, and an adventure, too, otherwise it would be a largely pointless exercise.

I woke up in a bathtub full of ice, but I love my new PHB!

Haha, you made me laugh so hard I spilled my coffee! I can so picture that situation.

I am pretty excited about 4E...but even so, I still chose the Amazon price tag. I won't pay extra for something just to satisfy my curiosity, or to be able to say "neener neener, I saw it before you did." But lots of folks would, and more power to them.

I'd pay the 5.000 offer to the developers if I was given the offer.

After reading all those responses for big bucks, I can just imagine a few playtesters reconsidering their loyalty to their NDAs...

Myself, I'd pay cover price and then put it on ebay in a heartbeat. I wouldn't even bother opening it. I'll take y'all's money for the book in advance like that, no question.

Is that the June release version or the errata'd second printing that will come out just before Christmas?

 

[Simm]

0 but not for the reason given. I wouldn't pay anything for them because the first printing is almost always rife with material that will later be errataed so I'd prefer to wait a few months till they fix it.

Now if I could get a set of second printing books now I'd pay a considerable amount.

Nothing higher than the price I got on Amazon. I don't need the books early: I've got an M&M game to keep me happy until I can mess around with 4e over the summer (when I've actually got time to devote to it).

 

[Mercurius]

I would gladly pay one of your kidneys.

That's just cruel

I woke up in a bathtub full of ice, but I love my new PHB!

That's just disturbingly amusing.

Is this an auction? (you have the books, don't you? DON'T YOU?!!!)
