Hi guys, for those who remember apologies for not contributing to the site for so long

Anywho, I'm finally selling my remaining original books from the 80's.
They were bought new and only 1 owner.
It's a sad day but right to do it
So I'm asking for advice on selling as a set here or singularly. Or sell on eBay?

I've got DMG, PHB, MM, FF, MM2, DM design kit, DM screen.

There are also several home brew scenarios and many printed (photocopied?) items such as Beneath the Darkshroud Peaks, Forgotten Realms The Horde setting etc that fills about 2 A4 box folders.

Any thoughts or pointers would be appreciated.

Might be easier to sell as a set here?

Sorry to see you parting with this portion of your collection.  We hope you'll continue to visit.

I think you'd actually get more money selling these individually than as a set.  To be safe, why not offer both options?  I'd post pictures, state prices, and whatever doesn't sell, post on eBay.  Start with the set price, and after a certain time period, if it doesn't sell, post prices for individual items or sub-sets.  You could auction them here, but I'd start with a minimum price that you require.  However, auctions require a little more work and updates.  Your call.   8)


Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

Thanks gents.

I think for ease I'll look to sell as a set here. I'll post pics if possible on the relevant classifieds soon

Cheers

when you're composing a message, there's a tab "upload attachment" below and to the left of the buttons "save draft" "preview" "submit".

You can upload three separate images per message.
for instace, if you look at some previous posts I made, I was only able to put three in one post and needed to make an additional post to put other photos in
Dave Sutherland DCS III miniatures Tekumel skeletons

Only other way is to have a photobucket or flickr or other account where you can just paste the image links in the body of the post
