I have never sold any of my books. I did lose track of my 3E books when I moved away, I think my mother might have sold or trashed them. But aside from that, I'm keeping every book I own.
I sold almost all of my RPGs back around 1998. There was a lot, and I mean a lot, of 2nd edition AD&D material in there. I don't remember how much I sold it for but I'm still friends with the guy who bought them. He still owns them too. I've sold some other books since then. I sold my special leather bound edition of the original Deadlands game to some guy in Great Britain (maybe Morrus knows him). But I've also given away a lot of books as well.So I was curious, do you keep your old TTRPG books or you sell them after a while?
I do know everybody in the UK, it's true.I sold my special leather bound edition of the original Deadlands game to some guy in Great Britain (maybe Morrus knows him).
They offer 325$ in store credit. But I'm trying to go more the PDF route since I got a Kobo Elipsa.If you are discontent with the offer, ask if they'll give you store credit. In all likelihood, $250 cash is the same as $400 in merch for you, and that's more than ten bucks a book. I mean, even if you have to spend it right away, you'd get a good deal.
(And if you don't think swapping your collection for 6 or 7 new books, or 4 or 5 games (or dice...somanydice) isn't a good deal -- if that makes you feel like you're losing out -- then keep the books!)
Yeah, that's what I do with novels but those books are still quite valuable I think. At the same time, 250$ won't make much a difference on my budget, it's more that I feel bad seeing them gathering dust when they could be used by someone else.When I want to get rid of books, I typically donate them to my local library, rather than sell them.
Hey guys, I'm looking at my bookshelf full of TTRPG (mainly D&D 2nd, 4nd, 5nd and Pathfinder 1ed) and I was wondering what to do with that. My local gaming store is offering me 250$ CDN for 35 books, I'm not too sure about that. I remember that I was really upset when my mom trashed my Cyberpunk books back in '90 and I wonder if I'll missed them in the long run. I want to sell them because I feel ashamed that I don't read/use them, not really for the money (but I still prefer having a few bucks than trashing them).
So I was curious, do you keep your old TTRPG books or you sell them after a while?
Thanks!
