D&D 3.0 Core books worth keeping?

[Brother Shatterstone]

Hey guys and gals,

I picked up the core 3.5 books cause I walked into a wonderful sale at the mall. (Buy 4 books get the 5th one free) I wasn't really planning on picking them up right away but I've never been good at walking away from a sale...

So now I have 3.0 books that I'm not sure if I'll ever need. I was wondering should I keep them or try and get rid of them? Also what's the "going rate" on them?


and no I'm not looking to sale on the board... So I guess I'm just curious.

I keep all my books as it is fun to go read them again after 20 years. I doubt you'd get much for them as I've seen many people saleing them and they did have a huge print run.

Personally, I wouldn't get rid of them. (And, strangely enough, I'm not). I've still got all my rulebooks, from oAD&D onwards.

Although 3.5E largely incorporates everything in 3E, there are things it leaves out - just compare the random dungeon encounter tables, for instance.

Cheers!

Personally, I'm selling my 3.0s real cheap to a friend of mine as I replace them with 3.5. Reason being is that my friend hasn't been keeping up with D&D and RPGing in general, so giving him the 3.0s should give him a leg up on that. I figure that they'll get more use that way than just having them sit around, take up room, and gathering dust.

keep em'

Not every game group uses 3.5, or 3e, or 2.5, or 2E, or 1.5, or 1E.

you never know what you need.

Keep them just so I can have every edition PHB. However, I am lending them out for free to anyone that asks what the hell this D&D thing is. Might get some more gamers .

Old 3.0 books make excellent corner and cover protectors for 3.5 books if you use backpacks to transport them to games. Corebook sandwich!

Keep them. In 50 years they'll be the rare editions! Yeah... or something.

Donate them to your local public library.

Donate them to your local public library.

*ahem* Unless, of course, your local public library already has them, and the 3.5 ones as well.
