Yeah, too good to pass up. I scooped it. I'm sure I can find a use for it.

Is it ethical and practical for the FoS to have a sort of "trust fund" for getting rare items on ebay and in shopfronts? Even stuff that the individuals don't need, they can have a policy of holding them and then selling them (at purchase price, or just above purchase price) to whomever needs them?

Brandi did me a great favor and she picked up a Dark Sun Boxed Set awhile back when it appeared in her local store. I sent her payment plus a little extra sugar on top and I got myself an original DS campaign setting, which was awesome. Maybe we could institutionalize this so that good folk like Gonzoron could post up a "For sale" list of duplicates they have, and then other Frat folk could contact them to buy.

I'm sure there was a good half dozen 3rd Ed. Tarokka decks that Frat people sold on before I was able to get my copy from ebay.

We do not mind people advertising here what they have for sale, as long as it is Ravenloft. This is not the place for a bazar.

Put your list here in this thread, and ask people to PM you would be the best way to do it without craming the bard :)

The best place for that kind of thing would probably be its own thread. Or if the FoS objects to non Ravenloft stuff being put here, (i mean it's still D&D), perhaps you should start a similar thread to this in the general Roleplaying Games subforum.

Or you could go to the acaeum boards' forums or post on ENWorld marketplace. Both forums are very friendly for these kind of things.

A sticky thread for this purpose wouldn't be a bad idea. I was greatly helped by Snake when he got Gaz V for me a while ago, and Frank was always willing to help also, so it would be nice to be able to return the favor. :)

I do have a couple of extra 2nd Ed. Ravenloft items (Book of Crypts, RLMC I, II & III), but being in Uruguay I don't know how attractive an option could that be.
Anyway, if anyone's interested in those, let me know.

Lord of the Necropolis is available for $ 6.25 and King of the Dead for $ 5 at half.com

BTW most of the other Ravenloft novels are available at half.com for under $ 1. You'll have to search for the authors and/or titles though, simply searching for ravenloft won't find all of the novels.

I got RLPH today, which was last book i was lacking. Now, I only need Tarokka Deck, but it seems it disappeared from face of the Earth. If somebody is selling it or if some auction will be up, please give me a PM :)

The Ravenloft PHB
Secret of the dread Realms

The Tarokka deck

The hitpointe has some d20 RL books listed:
http://hitpointe.com/ (frames, click d20--> Sword & Sorcery Studios)
or http://www.hitpointe.com/d20/wwp.htm (no frames, direct link)

I've bought from them before.

There are several copies of Denizens of Darkness on ebay currently. Same for the screen/SotDR.

Pick any five for $35 auction on ebay. Shipping included, from Canada.

Includes:
Ravenloft: Gazetteer I
Ravenloft: Champions of Darkness
Ravenloft: Game Master Screen
Ravenloft: Legacy of Blood
Ravenloft: Legacy of Light (??? Probably Heroes of Light)
Ravenloft: Van Richtens Arsenal

It's probably best to first ask them if all are still available, before buying.

www.bookfinder.com is a great resource. It is used best if you look up the isbn on amazon, and then search by isbn on their site. (Click Show more options... for ISBN search)

Gaz V for from blackwell.co.uk for £14.99
Though it notes : "Not currently stocked in Blackwell stores. Ask your local store to obtain this item for you."

They most probably can't get it for you, but to anyone in the uk it is worth a try.
