[QUOTE="thundershot, post: 823595, member: 628"] I'm sorry, but I've got to set up my tent in Mark's camp. I've got bills to pay, too. My wife and I couldn't afford to pay cover prices on most of the books. It's an expensive hobby only if you let it, and, well, I WANT to have a lot of books. I would rather have more books at one price discounted online than less books for the same amount. If bn.com can afford to sell me Path of Faith for 11.95, then I can break down and buy a book I normally wouldn't spend 25 dollars on. And so I did. Buy.com got me tons of 25 dollar books for only 15, so yes, I bought them. If they weren't that price, I wouldn't have bought them at all. Which hurts the gaming industry more? So no, I don't feel guilty ordering the 3.5 books for 19 bucks each off of buy.com. Simply because if I couldn't get them at that price, I wouldn't be buying them at all. That said, if there's a book that I REALLY want, and can't find a good deal on it, I buy from my "friendly local online gaming store" FRP Games. I also peruse e-bay for some good deals (got a bunch of kalamar modules and the city gueneveve(?) for 6 bucks a pop (12 for the city). Chris [/QUOTE]
