Warhammer World has been issuing reprints of Rogue Trader and the two Realms of Chaos books. Glossy paper, gloriously crisp color reprints. So those aren't originals.
That's how it started. I paid some nice fellow across the pond who was reselling them on ebay at a premium more money than I probably should have, but still got them for less than I'd pay for originals and at much better quality. (In fact, I have a janky old original Slaves to Darkness I'll be selling off to recoup a little of the cost.)
After I had those, I dug out a battered old copy of WHFB 3e I bought off ebay about ten years ago and finally did the binding repair job I'd been meaning to do. And then a book here, a book there, and after spending an amount of money I refuse to total up, I think I'm good and done.
The real kicker? A friend of mine across the country told me he was going to a Half Price Books and would be checking the Warhammer section, and asked if there was anything he should look for. I replied, "If they have Warhammer Armies or Warhammer Siege, don't bother asking, the answer is yes," knowing there was no possible way he'd find them.
...that $15 dollar sticker on the copy of Warhammer Siege is from LAST FREAKING WEEK. I asked him to check for a Ming vase as the thrift store, and HE FOUND ONE.
