[QUOTE="Heretic Apostate, post: 189988, member: 696"] Probably this thread will be moved, but it's more advice-oriented, rather than trying to sell anything. Thus, I'm hoping it can stay in general discussion, rather than being locked. Okay, here's the deal. I have a large collection (I put the list in Word, and it came to 15 pages, single-space; of course, there's lots of carriage returns, but there's also lots of "this & this & this" lines). I can't afford to keep up with d20. I need money to pay bills. If I don't sell everything (excepting maybe the core 3 books), I'll always have the temptation to start over again. So, I have to sell everything. What are my options? I don't want to break up the collection into a bunch of small lots (2-3 items), because that's just too much trouble. I definitely don't want to sell by individual item, because then I'll lose all the good stuff, and be stuck with the leftovers. I'd prefer to sell it all at once, but the only guy I know locally who bought this stuff has gone out of business. So, what do I do? We're talking about maybe 16-18 full document boxes, with piles covering another five square feet of floor space. (I rent only a single room, so right now I only have space to walk to and from my bed.) That's a lot of gaming material, and it's going to take a lot of shipping, if I can't find someone local enough to come pick it all up. (And if someone DOES buy it locally, it's going to take a pickup or a U-Haul.) How would I go about ensuring payment? I definitely don't want to take a check.... Maybe PayPal, you think? Or money order or cashier's check? Do people buy mass quantities of gaming material, sight unseen? I don't want it being picked over, as I stated above. I want it gone, gone, gone. And what is the going average rate for used material, assuming fair-to-good condition? I'm guessing $0.30 to $0.40 to the dollar, since I'm probably only going to be selling to a reseller who will be adding their own markup. So, regale me with advice. If I can't game (haven't gamed in 9 years), and I can't even find a table to sit at (haven't sat in on a game in 4 years), there are things I can spend this money on even better. Car loans, student loans, maybe being able to rent an actual apartment (instead of a one-room with bathroom/kitchen priviledges). Thanks! [/QUOTE]
