Nice buy.  From what I've seen the out-of-print LnL stuff (and many other decent ones) often get a bidding war that sends them higher in price.

Nice finds JD. There's a copy of Forgotten Heroes going on ebay now for $95, and a 2nd edition for $100.

Noble Knight has a copy of Band of Heroes 1st ed. listed for $150!  :o

If you're dedicated, you can get some practically new titles on ebay at half price or less on retail.  I don't think it happens very often with newer or more popular stuff (gotta get lucky on the timing I suppose). 

I recall seeing quite a few Combat Commander titles there every time I browse the wargames.  I guess it's not as widely popular with as a whole?  Or some of them don't feel like replaying it?


The real problem for getting decent used stuff from Ebay is the often exorbitant shipping costs, at least here in the US.  Seems like if it's from anywhere out of state (nearly all the time), then the shipping charges are from $11 to $17.  After adding that in, I can often find a new or slightly used copy from an online store at around the same price.  :-\

I get REALLY tired of seeing something sold by an indie company on Amazon or eBay for, say, $1, but then shipping is $30 or something insane like that.

If it's not in a thrift store (heh!) I find the best deals on CSW marketplace.  They've had a copy of LNL:FH listed recently as I recall.
