I sold my (meagre) collection to a friend about 12 years ago, and am just now getting back into role-playing. I've been using this site for the past few months to try and estimate the value and completeness of other collections that I could purchase. Sadly I've been bitten once already by not checking the merchandise closely at purchase time - one was three boxes of dank, musty books. I'm slowly working on cleaning and salvaging them (at least to the point where my hands don't stink or feel grimy after reading them).I'm definitely a big player, half collector, and not much of a reseller, though I don't see the point on holding onto duplicates or items I know I'll never enjoy.My favourite items are probably Planescape, FR and Dragonlance, though I've yet to actually play a game in Planescape or Dragonlance >.> (hoping to run them eventually). Also looking forward to running a game in FR's The Horde setting, which seems to not be much of a popular product line.I'm 31 years old and based in Vancouver, BC.Thanks to everyone for the effort that they've put into this site!Richard
