I got my RC at the local HalfPrice Books store for $10. Later, at the same store, I found the 1e UA for$9. So don't be afraid to comb your local used bookstores for gaming stuff.

Problem is, I live in NYC; most used ANYTHING shops have a very good idea of market value. I should stop by the Strand on the off chance, however ...

As a footnote to all this,

IMO, the thing that brought me back to B/X over 3e? The 12-spells-per-level. More than anything else, the restricted spell lists are one of the best balancers, keeping the spellcasters from completely overwhelming the non-spellcasters. The more spells they have, the more options, the more powerful they become compared to everyone else who doesn't get new options.

Found a used copy of UA for $30, including shipping, from Toll & Toad. Depending on the weather, I may see it this week!

Thats a bit pricey for a used copy- for that dough I'd want mint condition.

That's a good point, but also remember that unless that used bookstore has an online presence (in the context of sales I mean) then chances are they're not going to bother with listing a D&D collection to fetch the (maybe) extra $50; a lot of used bookstores just go with a local market - at least the owners I've known. They tend to rely on their experience for what sells and what does not, and what the value is.

Of course, the nice thing about online... you don't have to visit a bazillion stores just to find out no one has it!
