Game and Watch Forever:
I'd never heard of this until recently, so there are probably others that haven't either: The Jack Vasel Memorial Fund, in short, is set up to help people within the gaming community facing tragedy and financial hardship. The first post in the link I posted has links to the charity's site and provides more details. You can help by donating directly on the site or participating in the auction. In the auction, you can offer goods or services (there's a lot of good examples and interesting stuff listed) and/or bid on the items already listed. It seems like a pretty worthwhile cause.
It's ending on the 25th so if you have something you'd like to auction, I'd read the information for it and get it on there FAST. Same goes for bidding, but that's easier in my mind. You're NOT at all likely to find a good deal on anything, but if you see something you like and can afford to, definitely bid. Even if you're outbid, at least you helped drive it up!
It's too short notice for me to go through my collection and decide if I want to figure out shipping stuff (I rarely resell things), so I'm sticking to bidding on stuff and getting the word out this year.

Had the opportuniy to play a bit more lately. My group of the introductory week at university has a biweekly games evening. Played Munchkin for the first time e.g.. I also attended a "board game day" organised by a local board game club. There I played Alien Frontier. That was surprisingly much fun, but it seems to be impossible to buy now. Made me a bit sad.

God damnit. I won an auction on ebay for the 3 Core rulebooks to D&D, and now that it's over I notice that they are not 3.5 but 3.0. Fuck. Paid 60€ for rules I don't need (So far I never found a single book for anything below 40€, so I thought it was a great deal). Now I know why nobody else bid. I hope I can sell those to somebody again, once they get here...

The 3.5 reprints are $50 each for the Players handbook, DM guide and Monster Manual on the official shop. Plus shipping. I can find them for ~$30 USD each on ebay, used, which is not as great a reduction as you could hope for.
Or, you know, you could "look around" for pdf versions on "the internet".
ChaoSera:
I already have them as pdfs, but it's kind of annoying having to look them up at a laptop all the time. And printing them out would take a metric shitton of ink and paper, which would probably be even more expensive. For now I messaged the seller and asked him if we can cancel the transaction, offering to pay for his ebay fees. We'll see what he responds.
