To illustrate the power of patience...

I've long been aware of the "Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser" series by Fritz Lieber. A few months ago, a couple of the books went on sale - cheap enough that they finally reached my purchasing threshold - and I put the rest on a "Missing Pieces" wish list so I could easily keep track of what I did and didn't have. Since then, different volumes - one a day, never more, and never in a predictable order - have gone on sale, and I've snagged them as that happened.

I now have all but the last volume, and I didn't pay more than $1.99 for any of them. (Unless there was tax, but.) They normally go for six to eight dollars each.
