I do not believe I have any Greg Egan myself, however, my good friend & 
Colleague in the UK, Susan Stepney has quite the collection and is a 
Greg Egan fan.

For any other Science Fictioneers out there, I highly recommend her 
reviews... she is extremely widely read in Science Fiction and is also a 
complexity scientist herself, formerly working at Logica a bit of a 
British version of Bios .   She is now a professor at U. York and has 
quite the entertaining list of grad student projects, etc.   She and I 
are ostensibly working on working on a paper that might evolve into a 
book on Cellular Automata and beyond!

Along with Amazon and Powell's, I also recommend Alibris (www.alibris.com).

None of this solves the problem that Egan's work is mostly over 10 years 
old, out of print and expensive... I *will* keep my eyes open for Egan 
whom Susan has recommended to me many times.
