http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260178505564 is for the complete Cloakmaster cycle on eBay. I'm not the one offering it, and cannot vouch for the seller in any way, but the last two books are very difficult to find (I had to get Radiant Dragon directly from Elaine Cunningham!), so I post this here.
The series has quite a lot of Realmslore, particularly about Nimbral and the Elven Imperial Navy's relations with Evermeet.
The same seller is offering 42 Realms novels in a single lot: http://cgi.ebay.com/HUGE-LOT-OF-42-TSR-FORGOTTEN-REALMS-FANTASY-BOOKS_W0QQitemZ260178638750.

Aye.
If I can't find a copy around here, I may just have to grab one of your copies from eBay. |

Well, I've also got dupes of 1-7. So I've got two complete sets, and books 1-7.
Needless to say, I only intend to hold on to just one set.  |

I now have a complete second set of the Double Diamond Triangle Saga books. All nine books. I'm going to be putting them up on eBay, either this week or next. |

Sorry from Vic so unfortunately that doesn't work.
I've got a good Sci-Fi/Fantasy oriented bookshop nearby, but I've tried the other places he recommended |

Which part of the country are you living in Thielan? I know a few used bookstores in Western Australia and South Australia that have copies of most of the "Cloakmaster Cycle" books. |

While we're on the subject of difficult-to-find books, I managed to nab copies of the first two volumes of the "Dwarven Nations" trilogy from an Australian supplier the other day. Which is neato! Now all I need do, is find the final book.  |

The other day, I found 7 of the 9 Double Diamond books on eBay... With a Buy It Now price of $20!
And they were all in better condition than the copies I had. I am pleased with myself for finding that auction before anyone else. 
The only thing I have to decide now is whether to list the duplicates as a lot or individually... |

It would be nice to get a nice big collective edition of those. But maybe these won't get too high. |

I paid the big bucks for just one of them and was shocked that it was a skinny little thing hardly worth the name of "novel." Mind you, it may be an outstanding book, but I'd be happier if WotC repackaged them as a single big book. It grates on the nerves to pay so much for (seemingly) so little.

I finished the Cloakmaster Cycle last weekend. I enjoyed it, but not overly much. It is one of those things where I understand why they did what they did, but I do not really agree that they should have do what they did. Anyways, I got the whole series off of ebay for 14 USD, so I am not complaining. I just wish that the auction had mentioned that the sixth book had some water damage. |

I recently bought TWO copies of the TSR Spelljammer adventure collection, 9286 (SJA2) Skull & Crossbows, and I have started a separate scroll about it in "D&D Core Products" (because it's not officially "branded" as a Forgotten Realms product) to address some of the Realms-related points in the adventures. I am mentioning it here, however, because it was written by Nigel Findley and seems to have been TSR's way of making a Cloakmaster adventure path without actually using that word (or paying royalties to any of the other writers, I presume!). There are MANY similarities, though, and it's as close as you're likely to come to an actual Cloakmaster adventure path. For example, instead of "Estriss" the mindflayer obsessed with "the Juna," in Skull & Crossbows we have "Thought Taker," the mindflayer obsessed with "the Elders!"
As I said, I wound up with two copies, and I'm willing to sell one or swap it for something which I don't have (Krynnspace, maybe), but let's discuss that on the other scroll and leave this for the Cloakmaster books.
(FYI, for the benefit of new scribes, the two boldfaced terms are active links and may be clicked to go to the desired destination.)

I just got the Double Diamond books in the mail today. I didn't realize they were so short!
you don't see them that often on ebay
Actually, two sets showed up at the same time. I lost out on both (  ). This week several individual volumes were on sale. I've noticed (as with the Cloakmaster series) that availability tends to come in cycles: dearth followed by abundance followed by dearth. I'll get 'em sooner or later.
I will battle thee for the next set |

AAAAARGH! You outbid me!

Here's another set. I haven't traded with the seller, so, as always, caveat emptor. Because this set is being offered more often now (and not for $28 a book!), I'm not going to post any more announcements. Interested people may search Amazon or eBay for themselves.

Another set:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200173854965.
Again, I cannot vouch for the seller. Caveat emptor.
Mod edit: Removed the extra space that was causing some coding weirdness.
