Recomend me a good online place to buy RPG stuff from.

I will chime in with FRP Games as well. I have been completely happy with the service and speed. They even send you an email letting you know exactly when they are mailing your product, which is very nice.

I always have specials and work personally with all the internet orders at D20books.com. I'm frequently online with AIM, Yahoo, ICQ, and MSN (in that order of preference) and have an online community where my customers can chat and talk. I do mini reviews and am known for being "opinionated", so you'll always get an honest answer about books.

The idea of D20books.com is to as closely resemble a real brick and mortar game shop, so you can visit with the guy behind the counter (Instant Messengers), chat with customers and share ideas (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/d20books/) and have a back room for gaming (Fantasy Grounds, below).

I'm a fervent supporter of gaming and have a regular gaming group loaded with D20 Authors, Game Designers, and other extremely creative people, as well as just forming an online group for Fantasy Grounds. (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/d20books-fantasygrounds/) I don't just sell the games, I'm a consumer of the products as well.

If you have a group, I do special pricing for groups.

Let me know.

Special thanks to Hairy Minotaur for the nod too

I buy at Amazon, Overstock, Walmart, RPGnow, Stiggybaby, and at the publishers websites, depending on where I find the best price of a given product and if the product is listed at a given site.

I'll be checking out d20books now, looks/sounds like another good site.

Amazon usually gets books a few weeks later than other places.

Overstock hasn't been as well... stocked... since Christmas.

I usually use Booksamillion or Amazon if it's something they actually have in stock, ENWorld RPGShop game store if it's fairly new or not something in the major book distributor channels.

Its the drawback to the good discounts, if you ask me.

WEEKS???????????????????

Usually, yup.

If you want it now, you pay the difference...

I buy quite a bit of stuff from Amazon though recently I've been using E-Bay more and more. Typically I'll have two IE windows open, one at Amazon and another on E-Bay... that way I can tell what my maximum bid should be on E-Bay by comparing the cost to the list price on Amazon. Just make sure you take shipping into account on E-Bay... Amazon has free shipping for orders over $25. Sometimes you can get real steals on E-Bay and it is a great place to look for out of print items that you are having a hard time finding. I still go to Borders first to evaluate the book but there is no way I'm paying their prices when I can sometimes get a book for $10 cheaper at Amazon.

The one time I ordered from Buy.com they sent me the wrong book. The return wasn't a problem since they just e-mailed me an airbill to tape onto the original box but I then had to take the box to the nearest Airborne drop off point and wait for them to receive the old book before they'd ship me the book I'd ordered. The original shipment also took longer than Amazon. It may be a bit cheaper at times but I've never had a problem of any kind with Amazon.
