Tell me of the RPGs you got at discount price

[HellHound]

And of course, better even than the cheap ones I've picked up over the years, are the games I've gotten for free.

Thanks to the ENnies judges I have OGL Cybernet (multiple copies even), and thanks to Cthulhu's Librarian himself, I have a copy of HARP.

I got my copy of the Draconomicon at Amazon.com for 70% off. That sale didn't last long as I recall.

Heck, during that sale I got the Draconomicon, Complete Warrior, and two starter packs of minis for less than $40. And I had a $25 gift certificate.

I had a friend give me a copy of Fading Suns, because he had two of them.

From VFLGS: Deluxe Runequest (2 sets in 1 box), Dragonquest 1st edition, Dragonlance module set DL1-DL15, Bunches of Shadowrun, Call of Cthulhu, Vampire, Werwolf, Rifts, Battletech, Cyberpunk & Babylon Project supplements and adventures. All of these were reduced about 50% + they gave a 20% discount if you spent over $200.
Local hobby shops: Loads of Rolemaster/MERP, Star Wars, Torg, Call of Cthulhu, Ars Magica, and others. They were trying to reduce stock and were giving a 20% discount on marked items, after two years they still had too much stuff and everything went to 50%.
Library Sale: My dad picked up a copy of WFRP he was thinking about buying. I snatched it out of his hands and yelled "MINE." This cost $0.50.
EBAY, many, many, many things. Most notable: $7 copy of Cthulhu/ELric DDG.

It's not the ones I got, but the one I got away that haunts me.

Back when I just started gaming, a bookstore in town had a load of the old MERP supplements - Minas Tirith, Mines of Moria, Towers of the Teeth...all great stuff, and they were priced for next to nothing as the shop didn't understand rpgs and was basically dumping them. I didn't have money on me at that point, but I went in next week when I had pocket money...only to discover that they had thrown the unsold books out in the trash.

I feasted off the dying corpse of the Scarred Lands. Picked up Vigil Watch Asaatthi, a couple of the Player's Guides, Hornsaw, Hollowfaust, Shelzar and the fourth Ravenloft gazetteer, all of them around 75% off. Of them, I'd probably only have picked up the gazetteer and Hollowfaust at cover price. I enjoy the Scarred Lands, but the later books lost the spark that interested me to begin with.

 

[Salad Shooter]

Palladium Books has a yearly event where they sell grab backs for 25 bucks, plus 6 bucks shipping...I recieved a number of books, totalling almost 80 dollars worth of stuff. My friend gave me a few White Wolf books that he had recieved updated versions of...and eBay has been a place where I've found tons of cheap books.

I didn't have money on me at that point, but I went in next week when I had pocket money...only to discover that they had thrown the unsold books out in the trash.

I can only understand your dismay at this intolerable experience.
