I'm using Ebay like a library. I buy, I read, I resell (occasionally keep). So what if I lose a couple of $$ each time I resell, I'm enjoying reading D&D and revisiting my youth.

Well, that's the plan. I'm armed with my trusty Acaeum price guide, as long as I don't overshoot Acaeum estimates I should be OK!?

So far, so good. I suspect I've been lucky, after all, I've often heard here that there is no money to be made in this, so thats not why I'm doing it. But, I have had some success....

Bought an S1-4 off Alan (aka Killjoy32) for £9 (inc P&P) and just sold it on for £10 (once fees have been deducted).

has just become:

To buy, cost me £10 (including s&h), sold for £20+ (once fees removed)

Now, don't get me wrong, I know this D&D for profit won't last!!!



But, it got me thinking, does anyone else here work like this?  Any hints!?

Anyone want to be so kind as to give me a list of "good read" D&D stuff that I might want to buy, just to enjoy - I have a vague recollection a long time ago of reading one of the Gygax Magic Mirror / Dungeonland Mods and being thoroughly entertained. I'm planning on keeping the good stuff (my definition - thoroughly enjoyed reading it, looks nice), but will continue using Ebay as a library in the main.


One last thing, just have a look a minute at my B12 listing, did the photos do it? (I also had over 20 watchers at the end, easily a record for me) Do any of the sellers here do this for lowish value items? I mean, would I seriously of made this price without the pics?

£23 for B12? I must list my spare copy.

When I upgrade items, I then sell the spare on eBay.  Hopefully, I can make a profit to help towards the next lot of purchases.

And buying collections for just one item often means that you can make some money on the rest of the stuff.  But when you factor in the time it takes, the profit is probably a lot less than minimum wage.

Although the last time I checked my income and expense from eBay, I was definitely well into the red

Still, it keeps me off the streets.

Same as Al  :)

I buy for myself, sometimes in large lots, so I keep the best and let go the rest - when I get the chance to, as I'm both lazy and full of work to do - a dangerous combo.

So I amass large quantities of material... and sometimes feel the urge to shed it off - or the stuff will drive ME out of my house!
