So... I need to sell some books...

[Obryn]

Hey, all! Even though I am loath to sell any RPG book ever, money is needed for things like ... children. And medical bills. Any idea which - if any - of these I could sell? All of them are in pretty good shape, mostly around what I'd call Very Good to Excellent. The weakest are Expedition to the Demonweb Pits, which has highlighting and notes from when I ran it; and the basic PHB, DMG, and MM (and the Expanded Psionics Handbook), where I marked the inside front cover with a little glyph because I'm a dork like that.

Otherwise, pretty much every book has those little bends on the top and bottom around the spine, but I haven't seen many RPG books without that. Almost all of them have slightly dented corners, but only a few have actual scuffs where bare cardboard is showing. Almost all of these were read at some point. I would guess most would be called VG, with some into Excellent, and a few down to Fair.

I also have...
* Wilderlands of High Fantasy boxed set (played with, box is messy)
* The Wilderlands Player's Guide 3.5 (some pencil marks)
* City-State of the Invincible Overlord hardcover 3.5 (barely-read)
* Caverns of Thracia (unread)

...I also plan on selling my SWSE Starships of the Galaxy, which I know has been considered valuable.

Anyway, I thought I'd ask the experts. Thanks in advance!

From our recent sales of doubles and the collection of a friend who also needed some money, I can say it is not really worth the trouble even when you sell them at a local convention or meetup. You'll be sorry to see the books gone, and it won't help you cover any bills.

I don't know about Starships of the Galaxy, you could probably Ebay it off with some gain.

Alternatively, sell your children

Couple of places selling SWSE Starships of the Galaxy for $20 online.

Check the Nobleknight website, but generally used gamebooks, unless they're rare, don't bring anything.

And for collectors, condition is EVERYTHING. They don't want bumped corners, bent spines or any visible marks on the books.That's why they're collectors.

I'd give you $400.00 for the entire lot of them or $200.00 for the 18 I actually would read.

I'd give you $400.00 for the entire lot of them or $200.00 for the 18 I actually would read.

That's double what I was going to offer - you should take it.

These should be worth something. At least, I got $100 for my so-so copy of the Wilderlands box set and I think $50 for my CSIO earlier this year.

Didn't try to sell my player's guide and didn't have Thracia...
