    Default Finding books for 3.5

    Mutter mutter out of print.

    So I'm trying to find dead tree copies of the Spell Compendium and Magic Item Compendium, for ease of paging through, etc.

    Unfortunately, Half-price books doesn't have them (at least not the Ft. Wayne store or 2 of the 3 Indianapolis stores), and on Amazon they're going for over $100 new, and $40 used for the spell, $70 used for the MIC!

    Any thoughts on where I might be able to check to find them at reasonable prices? By reasonable I mean near the suggested retail price that was before the end of 3.5. Though I guess the lower supply and high demand kinda would jack up the price anyway, huh...

    *grumble*

    Go ahead and check ebay..otherwise I can barely find any books for suggested retail anymore. It is simply that they are out of print so worth more...

    I was very lucky to pick up a copy of ToB for £20 (~$30) a week or two ago, from a seller on amazon, now the lowest priced ones are £50+ I'm seriously contemplating buying some of the completes from there, as everything else has gone up as much, or more!
