Another poor soul who has been forced to dispose of his treasure trove on ebay.
I think I shall be in the running for some of these items! :)

GPC sold for £64.50 and KAP5 sold for £22.50 if I recall. Out of my price range for a second copy.

I figure that my Pendragon 1, 3 or 4 should be enough for any casual queries my players may have.

IF you have a laser printer at home you can print up the GPC or 5th for fairly cheap. I printed mine up from pdf, and had them coil bound for $7.50 each. I think my laser ends up costing about $.03 per page so that ends up being about $6.00 to print 5th ed, about $12 to print GPC and another $15 to bind both. That's a great savings off ebay prices.

I had an injet (I still use it as a scanner) but I think the costs would be prohibitive, at least on the one I used.

Of course it will be a bear when I have to buy a set of refill cartridges at $180, but those will last another 5,000 pages so I haven't much reason to complain in the long run.

Alternatively, some print shops will run a job at $.05-$.10 for black and white, so even at $.10 per page you'd probably see a price of about $30 for printing, plus another $45 for binding. Not a bad way to do things compared to paying £64 for just the GPC.

Besides, there's a certain something about knowing that if you spill coffee on your books you can replace them for less than $20 and not have to worry about some grand quest on ebay.
