#1 zombiegleemax Apr 13, 2004 14:06:45	Not sure if this type of request is cool, but can y'all recommend me a site that sells the 2nd ed core books cheap (print only please....I don't like trying to use core books in pdf format). Thanks!
#2 rian_lightblade Apr 13, 2004 14:12:04	Try eBay.
#3 zombiegleemax Apr 13, 2004 14:32:25	Ermm....:embarrass ....no credit card. I usually use a friend's (I give her the cash, then she orders it for me) but that would be kind of difficult with all the bidding, and I'd feel uncomfortable knowing her cc number. Are there any good sites or catalogs?
#4 rian_lightblade Apr 13, 2004 15:16:14	Don't be :embarrass I don't have a CC either, I don't like them, I have put a lot of milage on my check card sing it as a Visa though. I was going to say that many sellers still take checks or money orders, but since one need a CC to open an account that may not work. An atm card with a Visa or MC logo could be used to set up and account I think I did this way back when. (I order now under my wife's e-bay account and just give her cash). Or you could try this. Using MSN I typed in AD&D books and had several sites come up. I'd try that. Maybe one will have what you're looking for. I hope this helps

You might even check your local library, they might have some books (unless the nutcases have found and burnt them)--although I do not suggest stealing from your local library, of course; just borrowing them and looking through them like a good person.
#7 caeruleus Apr 14, 2004 14:12:41	I too have found many OOP gems in my local used bookstores, so that's a good place to look. But let me recommend two websites: www.abebooks.com Used booksellers from all over post items here, and you can purchase them from this website. www.hitpointe.com The Hitpointe has tons of 1st and 2nd edition material, plus material from pretty much any campaign setting you want. Good luck finding what you want. Draco Caeruleus

#9 zombiegleemax Apr 23, 2004 9:21:53	what i have found after years of buying and sadly enough looseing books is to just download them. i use kazaa and a friend of mine uses Bit Torrent?. i have almost all of the 2nd ed mod's and like 90% of the books on my computer. i just print out what is needed as it is needed. it is sooo much cheaper than buying them and with a good connection only takes a few hours to Download each Splifer Of'thahogleg

Thanks! Used Bookstores. I got all my 2nd eddition stuff from a local used book store for 50% off original price or even as little as $2.

My collection has gotten pretty big by using it. There are definitely ways around it if you don't have a credit card. You can even use PayPal without a credit card too (bank account, for example).

I hope this helps Generally, if a seller will accept a check they will also accept a money order, purchasable at 7-11 or he post office for about 39 cents usually. They are easily tracable, and you will be able to determine if the seller is lying if you ever find one that claims not to have received the money. I wold be extremely careful using a bank card online a a credit card. The reason is if your credit card number is compromised and someone maxes it out, federal law only assigns a maximum liablity of $50 to the cardholder. With many credit card companies in competition currently, you can even find some companies that will pay that $50 for you. However, if your bank card is compromised and someone clears out your account, you have nothing to fall back on except for the good graces of your bank.

They have a special right now on the original Temple of Elemental Evil T1-4 and a number of other really good modules. That is, of course, unless you're actually collecting them for collection's sake.
