Window Shopping.

fangrrl_squeesI've been amusing myself by looking for harder-to-find Na's on abebooks.com and ebay.
(You window shop your way, I'll do it mine. Heh.)
Prices for the Timewyrm series seem to have dropped slightly, even for the hardest-to-find title, Timewyrm: Revelation, which I found for under $30 for once.
GodEngine still stuck in the night-stratosphere. For $80+, I'd want that to be a hell of a book!
So Vile A Sin continues to average $70 with the occasional optimist asking for $160. Um, yeah. Good luck with that, dude.
The Dying Days has taken a jump. Last time I jotted down prices1, it hovered around $60 - $100. No-one's asking under $80 for it, now. Dark Path has taken a jump, too.
Asking prices for Device of Death are varying wildly - from $30 to $100+. Odd, that. The Well-Mannered War is another one - I found prices from $45 - $130.
Twilight of the Gods has come down a bit - worth keeping in mind, I suppose.
Rather to my surprise, the selling price for Lungbarrow has dropped from $200+ to $80 - $100. I wonder if the Beeb's decision to release the text online had anything to do with that..?
1 - um, of course I track the prices on these things. Furthermore, I keep a list of what I'm looking for and average prices on my iPod, in case I find a book in an unexpected place. What do you mean, obsessive?

Date: 2009-07-20 12:28 am (UTC)I've got a full set of EDAs and I try very, very hard to be satisfied with that and not fall into the trap of collecting-for-it's-own-sake - although I must admit, I find myself thinking wistfully of the old Target novelizations and wondering if my 11-yr-old niece would like to read them... Heh.
