Message: <blockquote data-quote="RFisher" data-source="post: 1962597" data-attributes="member: 3608">Years ago when Warhammer FRP first came out, I was standing in my FLGS waffling over whether to buy it. So, the guy who ran the place offered me a discount if I bought it right then. He did that a few other times. I don't know that I would have ever bought it if he hadn't done that.Around 1991 I bought a copy of Fantasy Wargaming at a second-hand bookstore for $3. I don't know how many times I'd looked at it at a regular bookstore where I bought OAD&D stuff in the 1980s, but never brought myself to buy it. I couldn't pass it up for $3.In 2000, I don't know that I would have bought the 3e books if it hadn't been for the "introductory" pricing. Maybe. Maybe not.A couple of years ago, I bought a Deluxe Traveller box with a few extra goodies in it at a second-hand bookstore. I already had bought a couple of editions of Traveller (Starter Traveller, MegaTraveller, & the Classic Traveller reprints), but I wouldn't have gone out of my way to track down a Deluxe box set if I hadn't just happened on it for a good price.Last year, I bought a copy of BESM 2e at a huge book sale. If not for the discount, I probably wouldn't have bought it until someone in my group choose to run it.Also last year, I found a copy of the RC at a second-hand store. Like Fantasy Wargaming, I don't know how many times I stopped by a regular bookstore & looked at it back in the 1990s when it was new, but never brought myself to buy it.Oh, & I bought a copy of Toon second-hand last year too. I don't think I would've paid full price for it.Oh, & Star Frontiers. (Just the Expanded Rulebook.) It's all available for free online these days, so I guess that was really bought at a premium instead of a discount. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />(& that's not counting modules or supplements I've gotten from second-hand stores or ebay.)Everything else, I think I've paid "full price" for or gotten as a gift.</blockquote>
