Yeah, I know, it sucks. I wasn't expecting them to be easy to find, but I also wasn't expecting them to be this difficult to find either. Especially the newer books. The reason why I want to find them in flea markets and thrift shops instead of eBay is because, one, it's more satisfying to find them in stores rather than ordering them online. And two, you get to see the quality of the book first hand. Someone on eBay may sell a Goosebumps book in "good" condition, but once you receive it, the condition isn't as good as the seller made it out to be, and it may have an odd smell to it (like cigarettes).

As I said in the blog post, I'm running out of options. So I'm not sure where my next stop will be. But I'll keep searching.
