I've been trying to buy this game for YEARS and I cant find it anywhere.

If there is a website anybody knows of, or if anybody is willing to sell their old copy to me..... I will be eternally grateful!

At the moment there's two options. One's around 59(?), another is part of a combo pack and is about $10 more.

EDIT: Ebay!

Try amazon.co.uk, there are some market place offerings at less than $100 US, although P&P might raise it up. The US $ is not is cheap as it has been visavis sterling at the moment. 1.86:1 USD:GBP last time I looked. :angry:

Yeah but isn't that still a bit expensive for such an old game? I'm from England so I'm not sure on how much games go for in America, I'd just scan all the independent game shops for a cheap copy that they don't realise it's rarity?

That is the best tactic, but I too would suggest ebay, coupled with a good bit of patience. Have a good idea how much you're willing to pay, and if an auction goes too high, then just don't continue. Another will come along eventually. Also, wait with bidding until soon to the end, because if you post earlier there will almost always be another person going to bid after you, and that only leads to the price going higher and higher with every bidder. Have patience, and bid at the last second, with the price you're ready to pay - automatic bidding only goes so high that it is higher than the last bid, so you might not even have to pay the full price of your highest bid.

That's how I got my own copy of Torment, too, for much less than 100 $. I don't recall exactly, but I think it was about 50 dollars at most, which is about 30 pounds right now. But it was a bit in the past, and I think it might have been even less that I had to pay. :)

If you're still looking, there's eight copies for sale on ebay.co.uk now: (http://shop.ebay.co...._nkw=planescape). Prices range from reasonable to stupid and it looks like P&P to you will be about £6.

Site that sells old games for... well, not so much. Planescape is not there yet, but it is pretty high on the wish list as you can see. I would recommend you wait until it appears on Good Old Games and then buy it. Saves you around 90$.
