But I see myself as being "back" hopefully to stay, or at least become more involved. Collecting isn't a primary interest—but it is interesting, and I've loved reading about long-lost connections being renewed in some of the threads here. (Collecting also appears to take a lot of money, and that's not a resource I have much of any more. But its still nice to read about it, and I am very patient when it comes to rebuilding what I lost—even if I very much lament the stupidity of a younger self who thought moving required purging choice items for pennies or even nothing. I am—slowly—learning lessons others knew more easily than I.)

I'll probably return to lurking for a bit and reading, but this time as a member. Be seeing you.

Welcome Alaskanaut!  This is a website rich in information for collecting and gaming.  I've learned quite a bit over the years.  And while your resources may be low, I personally have found that there are lots of rpg collectibles to be had for relatively cheap prices, especially if you are patient.  I wish you the best in your hunt!  

Hey all, I used to be a member on here between 2009-2012, but then forgot my username and password. (I used to be Astenon on here.) When my TurboLister file become corrupted, I just lost heart in trying to sell my old stuff.

Well done on the user name.

Thanks for the welcome/comments, guys!

returning member wrote in Introduce Yourself, Fellow Collectors:Quick question. Does TurboLister still exist for ebay, or has something replaced it?

it still exists but several of the categories are not supported and the pre-filled information is not available anymore

Hi, I've known about this site for some time (well probably closer to 2 decades) and have perused it occasionally over the years.  Today I finally decided to join the forums.

Long story short, I've been working all over Canada and parts of the world since the early 2000's  I have a large collection of 1st edition D&D, AD&D and early Dragon Magazines that I stored at a family members home for well over 25 years - much of it is in near mint condition.  My family is getting up in years and  I have to decide either to start selling it or decide where to store it.  

Guess that's why I'm here.

Welcome aboard spruce.moose!!

Thank you all for the friendly welcome.

Greetings,

Perhaps like some others I am a long time lurker, 10+ years, who is now joining the forums. I am looking to make some contributions to the conversations as well as support the Acaeum (I owe it).

Been a serious RPG collector for over 10/15 years now, I do not have a lot of the higher ticket items but I can boast quantity. I do have some interesting one-off items as well, such as original art. Been playing RPGs since 82' and primarily am interested in D&D/TSR but also other systems such as Merp (have full set except for 4 supplements), CoCthulhu, Runequest, T&T, Battletech, Pendragon, Shadowrun, and varies magazines/portfolios/digests. Almost the entirety of my collection is pre-2000 and mostly 70s/80s. Based in the Philadelphia area.

Thanks for having me.
