Was about to throw them away, but thought I should ask first

[No Name]

I'm in the process of moving and decided to get rid of all my old Dungeon and Dragon magazines. Most of them are from the 3.5 era, with a few dated earlier than that. They're in good condition. This is free stuff, and I'm not very inclined to ship them anywhere, so that sets the limit to in or around Houston (Texas). I'm willing to meet someplace or just drop them off at a FLGS if it isn't too far from me.

Apologies if this isn't the right place to post this.

You know you can sell those at Half-Price Books, right?

Or eBay. I had to ditch my collection a while back, and was surprised at how much I got for the lot!

Don't throw them away. If no one here wants them drop them of at a FLGS as freebies.


BTW which Dungeons do you have? The older ones could be worth selling in lots, as could some of the newer ones (Maure AP for example)

Seriously? One of the FLGS here has a box of old issues they can't give away. And I found some for sale at another store for ~.25 cents each. I thought about giving them to the closest FLGS as Thanael suggests, but when I mentioned it a week ago, they didn't want them. I guess I could take them by half-price and see what they offer. I was planning on taking a few other books there (more stuff I don't want to move).

Thanael, almost all issues from both magazines are for D&D 3.5. I think from 2004 and up. I did look on Ebay at prices, I didn't see any issues for sale that I have.

BTW Ari, I saw you at the Comic Con. I didn't say anything though, you looked a bit busy.

If nothing else, try donating them to your local public library. I believe the Houston Public Library does an annual booksale to raise funds for the library. They might not get more than .25 cents for them, but still... and think, you might start some new gamers on the road to discovery.

Honestly? Re-read them first. If you're just going to throw them out, what I would do is crib them for some choice material. Using an X-acto knife, cut out any relevant articles, stat blocks, or whatever and make a "scrap book" of source material for yourself.

While many Dragon/Dungeon magazines haven't "done it" for me, they each had SOMETHING worthwhile.

You can easily sell them on ebay.

Why don't you want to ship them? I'm sure a lot of EN Worlders would gladly pay for shipping if they were free.

ENWorld has/had a marketplace page for exactly the kind of dealing that you might be interested in. I can't find it today, for some reason.

I'd be interested in anything with Savage Tide modules in it, myself.

It depends on the issues as well. I new a used video game store that got a big box of them in and the select ones sold that same day, a ton of them, the rest sat in his store for a long long time.
