I have been trying to acquire old traveller stuff on E-bay for a while and have been very dissapointed with the materials I have recieved. Some things from big houses are mint and I really appreciate that but some stuff is just in horrid condition. For instance I bought Traders and Gunboats and all the pictures are cut out and the book has been written in. So I started to look around old file sharing services. And found... quite a lot. I dont think this is a prob because I recally Marc Miller encouraging folks to do it at one time, but if it is please tell me. Obviously I'd buy the books if I could, but they just arn't availible anymore.

Both really, Id love to collect... but not for the reason you'd think
I want the LBB's Small nice and simple...
The Crappiest part is that I had all this stuff... all of it. I let myself be talked into other systems and other rules sets. When I went to college I ended up selling tons of stuff for food money and now ... I just have the collected books 0-8 A1-13 and DA.
On Ebay im gonna pay 10 times the amount these books cost. I sure as heck am not gonna pay 40 bucks for a used AR Vargr book. I wish far future would republish the Supplements and alien race books rather than the JTAS stuff first.
Actually I want the LBB's back
Thats the most annoying thing, You could throw what you needed in a bag and get a move on...
Not lug 85 pounds of collected books.

In my experience it's pretty easy to turn up copies of books 1-3, at least, and Mercenary and High Guard aren't much harder to find. At one point (prior to the release of the reprint volumes) I had several extra copies of each, so I took books 0-3 up to the local Kinko's, had the spines cut off and the whole thing comb bound with a heavy black cardstock cover.
Makes a great handout at the game table for those players who don't have their own copy of the rules. Then again, I have enough copies myself that I could pass one out to everyone...
