Okay, I guess I could've done the Google search BEFORE posting the question.  I'm finding all kinds of cheap copies of this one.  Thanks anyway!

If you are looking for Roleaids, your best deal is still to get them directly from Mayfair.  They have been blowing them out at ridiculously low prices and the shipping is reasonable too.  It never hurts to ask and sometimes people here remember who has the best deal.  Here's a link:

There are a couple of different prints of some of the books but I doubt they have printed any of these for over 10 or 15 years.  I think they are just trying to clean out the warehouse.

Okay, thanks.  I don't always trust my memory when it comes to the quality of some of the more obscure stuff I had back then, and I think Elves was the only Roleaids product I ever owned.  I really liked it, but don't remember squat aside from that, other than the fact that my parents bought it for me in a grocery store around 1982 (I was 12).  I picked it off the "game rack" (don't ask me why a grocery store had RPGs, but I'm sure of it), which included a total of about 15 titles, none of which were TSR for some reason.  Must have been a bid by Mayfair to expand their distribution; evidently it didn't work :).

I'm really not sure how many they had to start with but the sale never ended so they must have had a ton of stock.

They Mayfair site was sold out of about 12 of the Roleaids books.  They tend to probably sell in the $5 range separately.

Really?  I think that was the only time I encountered it.  I guess WotC hasn't quite sold the supermarket chains on doing that again, LOL.  Although I have seen M:TG cards in Target (pronounced "Tar-zhay", of course).  Usually I purchased my D&D stuff at the bookstore in the mall, or rarely in toy stores.  

I'll never forget when the toy store near my grandparents' house was going out of business (like that same day or the next), and everything was 75% off.  I clearly recollect seeing Eldritch Wizardry (very distinctive cover), and passing it up in favor of a Basic Set box (purple).  If only I knew then what I know now, 25+ years later, I'd have begged my parents to buy me everything in the store.  Maybe I did that anyway, I don't remember, but at least I'd have a cogent argument now ("Hey, Dad, when I'm 37 that'll be worth 50 bucks!").

Shipwrecker is one of my favorites from ANY source. I have always used that module in every campaign I have ever ran. Still looking for a Dragons of Weng T'Sen to complete my Role Aids collection.

I would appreciate that! Al outbid me for one last year on eBay and I have been too lazy to actively try to acquire another.

Just let me know please.
