(OT) Ideas on Prices for Old D&D Books?

[JDragon]

I just spent the morning going through my 8 boxes of Basic D&D, AD&D, & AD&D 2E stuff getting it ready to sell at the local Con in its open sales Area.

Most of the stuff I'm guessing will not go for more than $5 or so each, if that much. I do have 3 items that I would like some input from the group on what I should try to get for them.

1. Dungeons & Dragons Supplement 2 "Blackmoor" by Dave Arneson - Copyright 1975 - 8th printing April 1979. Its in ok shape with no missing pages, a few pictures colored in and slightly warn covers.

2. Dungeons & Dragons Supplement 4 "God, Demi-Gods & Heros" by Kuntz & Ward - Copyright 1976 - 7th printing April 1979. Its in the same shape as the book above. Both of these are the small 5 1/2 by 8 1/2 booklet stlye books.

3. Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Special Reference Work "Deties & Demigods Cyclopedia" by Ward & Kuntz - Copyright 1980 - 1st print 1980. This hardback version has the Cthulhu & Melnibonean Mythos included, which I belive had to be removed in later printings due to Copyright issues. The shape is the same as the 2 books above with ware on the covers spine and corners, but in good shape overall for 20 + years. It has approx 5-7 pics colored in.

I'm not trying to sell these here, just want some thoughts on pricing. (but if anyone is interested feel free to email me

Thanks for your thoughts and time!

Acaeum.com has price lists for that sort of stuff, check them out. I'd put them up on ebay.com. In my experience you could sell Blackmoor & God Demi-Gods & Heroes for 30-60 $ each. Deities & Demi-Gods Cyclopedia might get you $50 or so.

The October 2001 issue (#78) of InQuest Gamer (it's basically a CCG magazine with some RPG articles) had a complete Dungeons & Dragons price guide.

It listed the Blackmoor Supplement 2 as worth from $18 to $40 (though probably for 1st printing); the Gods, Demi-Gods and Heroes from $20 to $50 (also probably 1st printing); and Deities & Demigods (Cthulhu & Elric edition) at $35 to $80.

If ya got one of those orange cover Palace of the Silver Princess, I'll give ya a buck or two for it.
