I am buying Forgotten Realms 1st, and 2nd edition source books. Message me or email me with the books that you have and a reasonable price. Collections and lots are especially encouraged.

| Have you looked on eBay yet? You can find most (if not all) of that stuff there, and most of it is reasonably priced. |

| I've gotten a fair amount of stuff from eBay, as well. The NobleKnight website is also supposed to be pretty good, though I've not bought any FR stuff from them, myself. |

I've seen NobleKnights eBay items. Most of them appear to be in excellent condition, but the price is a bit high.
Unless a collector just has tons of money to spend, patience is the key to eBay shopping for out of print Realms sourcebooks. |

Agreed, and not just for FR material... Most of the original Iron Kingdoms RPG books go for well over their original cover price, even when visibly used -- but by being really patient, I got all of them, in new condition, for less than cover price. |

Yep. All of the good NES games seem to sell for higher than they were originally listed as well. |

On ebay doing a search for "Forgotten Realms lot" or "Forgotten Realms set" might turn up some goodies. |

I check eBay for FR stuff daily, and I do see bulk lots pop up on there... But nowhere near as oft as individual products. Most auctions are for just one thing, but sometimes, it'll be a handful of books. The big lots of stuff are rather infrequent, and when they do pop up, usually aren't just FR products -- I see a lot of them that are either across the board for other settings and core stuff, with a minority of FR books, or it's just core books with a couple FR books thrown in.
I understand wanting to buy in bulk... But as someone who has twice* built a physical collection of FR books, and who has checked eBay daily for several years (at least), I think you're better off buying things one at a time. It'll take a while, and will likely cost more -- but it'll happen sooner than finding that one big lot at a reasonable price.
*My original collection, bought mostly as stuff was coming out, was lost in a fire. |

| I've found that most ebay sellers will give you a discount if you tell them you are interested in purchasing a few of their single lots. Never hurts to ask. |
