My collection has been sealed away in storage tubs for the past 25+ years, and I've come to realize that I'm tired of hefting them whenever I move (11 times so far).I've spent hours perusing the Acaeum forums and the pricing guide (what a tremendously valuable resource!) plus ebay, but I can't decide if I should offer my D&D OCE set with Greyhawk and Swords & Spells supplements, or sell the supplements separately.I have the 6th printing (I guess that's what OCE means) - the one with the starburst on the cover. GH says 11th printing on the title page; S&S says 6th printing. The box and booklets are complete and in great condition - I never opened or read them beyond a first look when I bought them. The box has a couple of scuffed corners, and some bozo stamped the price with a rubber stamp on the GH title page, but that's it.Anyhoo... what's the way collectors would like to buy these items - combined with supplements or separate?

As much as I am attached to the games, the reality is that I haven't played in 20 years and haven't used any of my gaming material in nearly 25 years... and unfortunately it's not likely that I'll play them again. Life changes. And they should to be enjoyed, not stored away.This thread was very helpful: viewtopic.php?t=11024My conclusions are that I am not in a rush (the task of cataloguing, imaging, and assessing condition ain't easy), so I can wait for best price - even if it takes the rest of the year. It also seems best from your advice and other Arcaeum threads to do a little triage - sell the more interesting items individually outside of ebay, try auctions with a bin, and then maybe auction off the Dragon magazines etc as a set.
