I just threw away 100+ RPG books

I just sorted out my RPG collection. Tossed a bunch of books in the bin. Now I have a stack for keeping (D&D 3.5, D20 Modern, D20 Star Wars and my old BECMI collection, mostly, with some sourcebooks like Ptolus and City State of the Invincible Overlord), and a huge stack for Goodwill: old 1e and 2e boxed sets and sourcebooks, and some standalone games like Ars Magica and Spycraft.

Next step: sort out all my notes and old character sheets from almost 35 years of roleplaying.

You might want to check ebay completed sales for that 1E and 2E stuff, if you can spare the time, just to see if any of it is commanding real money. Even if you don't want to go through the hassle of liquidating it via auctions to get the best prices, you might be able to sell the lot at a discount to your FLGS (if they handle old stuff) or to a collector over FB marketplace or something. $30-$50 seems to be common even for used and beat up copies of AD&D hardcovers at this point, with earlier prints and more pristine copies going for silly amounts.

Yeah, even though my copy is in rough shape, and I have it in pdf, I hung on to that and all my JG stuff.

World of Greyhawk boxed set, Forgotten Realms grey box, GH Adventures, FR Adventures, DL Adventures, Spelljammer, loads of Planescape stuff. If anyone wants to make me an offer for the lot, feel free! Otherwise they're going out. It's too much hassle to advertise them separately.

For the records, I also went through all my old notes. The only thing worth saving for prosterity was the unused paper.

If things are in reasonable condition, I wonder how long they would last in a little free library. I'm guessing lots of neighborhoods have them.

Shot you a message. :)
