[Pimp-Boy 2000]

Superhero Gameland: Low prices, but they shipped the Shadowrun 4th book I ordered in a motherblooming thin cardboard envelope.  No packaging materials, no nothing.  However, they did send me a new, intact copy when I complained bitterly to their customer service, and they were courteous.  Go ahead and shop here, but submit comments with your order to the effect that you want your item to be packaged properly.  Their shipping speed is also good.

Noble Knight Games: Great selection (especially of out-of-print materials), great email updates that actually are interesting, awesome customer service, low prices, super-fast shipping speed.  Noble Knight is the best online gaming retailer out there.  One drawback is that despite the selection, you won't always find what you're looking for.

RPGShop: RPGShop is the Wal-Mart of online gaming retailers, without all the evil.  They have decent and fair customer service, a decent selection (but ONLY of in-print items), decent prices, and decent shipping speeds.  Sometimes, their in-stock status notifications will be inaccurate.  A very average store, but not seriously lacking in any area.

Stiggybaby's went out of business recently.  Shame.

Do or Dice: You know, I don't think I've ever ordered anything from this store.  Their selection is OK, I guess.  If anyone has a buying experience with this store, let me know.

CCG Armory: Mediocre selection, lengthy shipping times, and lacksadaisical customer service aren't doing CCG Armory any favors.  The only thing they have going for them is low prices.  I'd avoid it like the plague (and I do)!

More to come later.

I've ordered many things from http://www.fairplaygames.com/

Low, low prices. And when Gurps 4e first came out I knew like 12 players that wanted to buy the books. So I emailed Fairplay and asked for a break on shipping for a big order. An hour later I got an email from the owner. Said he'd give us free shipping for a big order. So not only did all of the Gurps players I know save over $20 on the book prices we got free shipping too.

Since the shipping was free I figured it'd be slow, but hey you can't complain when it's FREE right? Nope. The books showed up TWO DAYS later. And they'd been wrapped and packed so well that even those idiots at the US post office couldn't have damaged those books.

I've ordered several books from Fairplay since then. Great customer service, great prices, fast shipping. What more can I say?

I usally don't order anything from online. I like the idea of supporting your local game shop. And since I'm a repeat customer I get 15% off almost everything I buy from there

It's all about the hookups.

definatly

[AJStarhiker]

I prefer store shopping to online shopping because then I can look through a book to  make sure it's one I really want before I buy  it.  True, it can be difficult to find out of print stuff, but half the time I'm not sure what I'll be interested in until I see it.

[Ruski]

Horrah for Impulse buying!

That's how I got a $80 set of dice!

LOL

(they are jade. pretty cool really.)

[AJStarhiker]

I'm not exactly sure how many dice I've got, but they'll just about fill two of those Star Wars slurpy cups.

[Ruski]

This is just one set.
made of Jade.

wouldn't fill anything larger than a small paperclip dispencer, or perhaps that 'secret' pocket that bluejeans have.

[AJStarhiker]

...wow.  I don't have the money to buy *one* set of dice that expensive.  Even my comics I never spent more than fifteen on a single book.

[Ruski]

Well, it is a bit overboard, and to be perfectly honest, I didn't have enough money to spend $60 on one set of dice either... but, I did have a large disposable income at the time, was living at home, but working a wage-slave job... and I really liked DnD and so forth... so, it seemed apropriate in a way, to waste a paycheck on dice that are almost too expencive to use.
I mean... the super-geeks of wall street have their gold plated mercadies benz... what is the mercadies of RPG geekdom? My guess: Jade Dice.

I think the most I've spent on dice was 25 on set of steel ones for my boyfriend.  Probably wouldn't spend that much on myself, though.

[Ruski]

well, that was the other reason I had a lot of money at the time.

LOL

No Girlfriend.

[AJStarhiker]

At least my boyfriend is a fellow gamer.  I even have more than a year's experience on him

[Jester]

that's just crazy. I can't see spending that much on one set of dice. I've probably spent that much on dice but I have ALOT!
