[QUOTE="delericho, post: 5944085, member: 22424"] My gut feeling is never to get rid of anything. But I'm a hoarder. :) It seems very likely that most 4e stuff will remain easily available via eBay, and that prices will probably be quite reasonable. For that reason, I wouldn't worry too much about it - if you regret selling something, you'll probably be able to rebuy it later. However, I would caution against basing a buy/sell decision on availability through DDI. WotC may or may not turn off the 4e DDI support soon, so it's probably unwise to assume you'll have access through that. Now, for your list... [b]Classic 4e 'core'[/b]: PHB1 (x2 copies), PHB2, PHB3, MM1, MM2, MM3, DMG1, DMG2, Adventurer's Vaults 1 and 2 [b]Essentials 4e 'core'[/b]: Heroes of the Fallen Lands, Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms, Rules Compendium, Monster Vault, Monster Vault: Nentir Vale, DM's Kit for Essentials I say pick one of these to keep, and get rid of the other. Since Essentials is the newer of the two (and thus, I would assume, the better balanced), I would suggest keeping that one, unless you have a strong preference for 4e "Classic". [b]Forgotten Realms[/b]: Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, Neverwinter Campaign Setting [b]Dark Sun[/b]: Dark Sun Campaign Setting, Dark Sun Creature Catalog In each case, the questions I would ask are: are you currently playing/running a game set in these worlds? Are you [i]currently[/i] planning to play/run a game set in these worlds (in the next year or so)? Are you a fan of either of these worlds for itself (or did you just get them because they were the new hotness)? If the answer to any of these questions is "yes", then keep them. Otherwise, get rid. (That may mean you keep one, both, or neither, of course.) [b]General Splats[/b]: Heroes of Shadow, Heroes of the Feywild I don't know much about either of these, but my inclination would be to get rid. Did you particularly enjoy either? [b]Adventures[/b]: Madness at Gardmore Abbey, Tomb of Horrors, Dungeon Crawl Classics 4E adventures My advice is to get rid. Adventures aren't hard to come by. [b]Other[/b]: 3 Essentials Dungeon Tiles Sets These aren't really 4e items, despite being sold as such. If you use minis (for 4e, Pathfinder, 5e, or any other game), then keep them. If you don't, then why did you buy them? :) [/QUOTE]
