This is speaking from experience, DO NOT if at all possible sell your books.? I did that 20+ years ago and regretted it for years.? It took me alot of time and money on Ebay to replace what I sold/gave away.? (used to have the? D&D books-Eldritch Wizardry, Blackmoor, and Gods, Demi-Gods and Heroes and since this was way before ebay, I was never able to my hands on Greyhawk)? Even if you don't plan on playing anymore, just put them on the shelf.? Unless your having money problems, (like we all are right now), I highly recommend you wait on selling your stuff.? It really sucks to look back and think of what you used to have. Hope you find my advice helpful. Also, I second what Vin said, if you do decide that this what you want to do, very decent to offer it here like that.

I've lurked here for a long time, and used quite a bit of stuff back in the day that the stalwarts here have generated. Alas, life and the Army has caught up, and I've had a load of D&D stuff just gathering dust, never to be used again. It includes a LOT of OD&D stuff. I've already put the Orcs of Thar up on ebay for instance, although unfortunately I priced it wrong, lol, so it ends tomorrow with no bids. Anyways, once Pat Taylor has replied, I'll play second fiddle to him in this and post up a list of all the gazeteers and other stuff from Mystara, and elsewhere if wanted. Thanks, and sorry for the thread jack Pat. On Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 9:03 PM, Jason Murphy wrote: > I also would be interested in buying your books.

On one hand I miss some of the old books, but on the other I have all the games I am ever going to get to play in my life so I am pretty happy with where my collection is now. That being said, if either of you do post on Ebay I think it would be fine to forward the link here so we can all see and maybe even bid.
