Is eBay it for out of prints?

[Noumenon]

I'm sure it's been asked before and is a dumb question, but are there any online stores that sell the print versions of all the out-of-print modules that RPGnow sells in PDF?

 

[Treebore]

Yes, there are.

FRPGames
nobleknight
and others

The big one to check is Noble Knight Games, which has a ton of OOP products for the going market rate or less (you can occassionally find really good bargains). I order almost all of my OOP games (and I have a lot of them) from Noble Knight.

NKG carries a ton of ultra-rare stuff, as well. Frex, I purchased the only physical copies of The All Australian Roleplaying Game (Hunter Planet) and Zombi that I've ever laid eyes on from NKG. I also snagged some first printing TWERPS supplements and GURPS Man to Man from them.

AbeBooks Official Site - New & Used Books, New & Used Textbooks, Rare & Out of Print Books is a usefull place to go look at. They are a database of stockists of out of print books.

With the older adventurers, outside of the full color cover, is there a particular issue with PDF or just not a fan of the format?

There is something to those 32 page saddle stapled blue covered things... they just smell like... adventure.

If I could afford them I would own the orginals, but for me personally, PDFs work just fine for the price.

off line used book stores are sometimes a gold mine. I've found all sorts of gems at cheap prices at these places. But you really have to make a habit of going to them like once a month and keep checking back.

Amazon has a lot of old stuff as well. Many used book stores post their inventories on Amazon, so you can do pretty well there, if you're cool with online purchases but want to avoid eBay for some reason (or as a supplement to eBay).

and basically any rpg convention. tons of sellers. or tons of auction items too.

In addition to noble knight (which I have used and recommend)

I have also used hitpointe.com, their inventory system is somewhat lacking... but you can get lucky sometimes, they have a lot of 2e stuff
