Hello,

I’m selling Daves books, we’ve decided that they go to a collector.

There’s a dungeon masters guide with the dungeon master opening the door.
A players handbook which has slight damage on the spine.
A paperback monster manual - this is apparently older than the rest, as it was used in the early 1980’s by his brother.
A fiend folio
A monster manual 2
Dungeoneers survival guide
Wilderness survival guide


Apart from the players handbook, they look very good. There’s also 2 home made monsters that are on loose paper in the monster manual

I first put a post in the classified but I can’t get replies there for anyone who wants to buy them
I can get some pictures on later

I think I’m going to keep the books, sorry.

I'd love to see pictures of the two homemade monsters!

I have taken several pictures of various things Allan, but will send them as a PM as it’s taking forever to upload on the message here.
Thank you

Got ‘em, thank you!  

I’ll take a look in more detail over weekend, but several already caught my eye :)

I don’t know if they’re his own, or they’re just reprinted from a magazine or something. But there’s a lot of papers and handwritten notes for some explorations

And to add Allan, it seems they were written late 80’s and up to 1993 or thereabouts

Thank you for sharing the pictures.  Several of the monsters were blurry, but I can probably get the gist from them still.

Allan.

Sorry if they came out blurry. I’ve double checked the folder today, they seem clear on my
Phone, but the type face used is quite light I think. I can maybe send them individually in a message but the file size and messaging don’t seem to work very well.

Hello Allan,

The pictures are fine.  Whatever you are using is probably not converting/viewing the images at the original resolution.  The pictures were taken with and iPhone or iPad.  If viewing them on an Android device, they will likely be low resolution.

Hi, I’ve decided to start selling Daves collection on eBay, starting with some books that are solo map books by Anna Blackwell. I’ve no idea of value or what they are, but thankfully the eBay AI tool writes up the description. I hope I’ve done that correctly and mentioning it here.
Thank you

I can't seem to find your listings.  Are they for sale in UK only?  Or you haven't quite listed them yet?   :?

Once you list them, I recommend you post a link to your listings.   8)

Thank you benjoshua, I have changed the books to international postage, but I don’t know how much it will cost so I have guessed the postage cost. The item number is  
** expired/removed eBay auction **
and I am using Daves eBay account as I don’t have one, which seems to work as he had bought and sold a lot of things. I will try and sell the core books over the next few weeks I have finally decided. Thank you

Oh that’s strange, I wrote the item number in the answer to you and it has put the books in the answer. How weird.

It automatically does that.  You did nothing wrong.

Your listing looks good overall.  You were right to use Dave's eBay account as most buyers like sellers with a good track record.  The best thing about your listing are the photos as you have lots of them and they are well done.  I can't say whether the description is accurate since I don't have these items.  I tried to look at all your listings, but ebay isn't showing them to me for some reason, probably because your listings are not available to US buyers.  I hope your sales go well.   8)

Thank you.

I have changed the postage to include the USA so hopefully you can see them now. I didn’t realise there were so many options.

Thank you

I can now see the listing you shared above but no others.  Unfortunately, you have to edit each listing to include USA as a shipping possibility.   :?

You're getting there!   :)
