there is a pocket star trek novel i can't find a physical copy for less than 100 US dollars called "a stitch in time". for some reason they won't reprint it (they released an audiobook recently but i don't personally like reading books that are not physical paper books).
Rule of Acquisition #3: Never spend more on an acquisition than you have to
Ugh me too!
Yea I bought it on a whim when it came out cause I love DS9 and Garak. I've seen them as high as 200. Its crazy.
Keep an eye out at thrift shops-- I've seen huge tranches of Star Trek novels.
Upvoted just because I've been meaning to look up the definition of tranche and you reminded me. Thank you. :)
Yeah, my copy is in decent condition, and I've had offers of 200 for it.
Alas, I'm a giant geek and refuse to sell it
TIL those are out of print and valuable. Most of mine were ex-library copies bought for 50ยข each. I guess I should have kept getting them more diligently, since it sounds like now it would be difficult for me to complete my collection.
