What sort of value would you place on such a collection? I've seen a run of 40 Dungeon mags (15-55 or so) go for a little over $100 not including shipping, but I can't get a handle on what would be fair for a larger collection.

Thanks,

$200.00 is not unreasonable, but it all depends on condition.  If everything is minty and bagged, it'd be worth more.  If they have tears and writing, it would be worth a lot less.  Also, if you are very patient, you could get it for less, but one of the advantages of a bulk sale like this is your shipping costs go way down.  I personally believe Dungeon Magazines are a great value for the money, especially these earlier issues.  This is all my opinion.

It's true that 1-6 are indeed the priciest, but I actually had the hardest time finding issues from about 70 to about 85.  Maybe that was just me.

No, some of those are a pain to find, but they still don't sell for much.  I'd agree with Mars' numbers  - that's about right.
