[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 7496404, member: 6803337"] Besides what is listed above, talk to an auctioneer. The firm may know of people (collectors or current-players) who will pay you for your old items. If not, they can take things off your hands. Also see if FLGS would take all or some for their own stock (and future re-sale). My FLGS has older and quite not-mint-condition sourcebooks that look like they were used in play; this provides a cozy lived-in feeling that buying new off the shelf cannot match. If FLGS hosts group sessions, a library of source material would be a bonus to their 'added value proposition' as a host. Just because your collection is not 5e does not mean it is obsolete; many people are converting the old modules to 5e. Plot lines and monsters and NPCs still are relevant, even if the pile of stats isn't. Don't be afraid to keep one or two items as your own nostalgia. A book or two, your favorite character's sheet, and a favorite mini - or some other knick-nack - is not overwhelming the way a whole bookshelf of unused stuff can be. Your kids and grandkids might be interested in some / all of your collection, too. (Probably no money with this.) Both as a game to play and as a remembrance of visiting your place - and of YOU.
