$275 for both seems a little low... the last copy of Warriors of Mars on ebay went for $500 or so. Even with signs of use, your copy should do better than $275 on its own.

White boxes can vary depending on condition, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect at least $100 for it.

Agreed, the offer is too low.  Unless the condition of both is really bad.

If you want to email them to me, I'll host them for you.

Wow, everything looks real nice. Definitely worth a lot more than $275 in there.

I still think that $500 for a Warriors of Mars is on the high side especially if it has writing inside it.

Agreed with you both(even though I also bought a NM one for $500.   ).  My main point is that that lot is worth far more than $275.

I think we should compromise and run no more than two additional shots — three at the most. I want to help out, but ...:

1. This isn't my web-site;
2. My storage space isn't infinite;
3. When you actually list the item on eBay, you can, in theory, post as many photos as you like.

But I'd say sending me a couple more shots of WoM would be worth it. The interest seems high and this is where many of the big hitters in RPG collecting hang out ... it would definitely be worth your time.

I'm going to start a new thread just on the Warriors of Mars book, and will post a few pictures there shortly.  Later on, I'll probably do the same with the other items in the lot.

Until then, here's the printing info on each of the items in the lot:

White Box, 5th ed.
Men & magic c 1974
monsters & treasures c 1974
underworld  c 1974
reference sheet is 4 pages (1 8-1/2 x 11 printed on both sides and folded in half)

Greyhawk, 4th printing July 1976

Blackmoor, 2nd printing, July 1976

Gods, Demigods & Heroes, 1976 (1st ed?)

Warriors of Mars (Gygax & Blume), 1974

I'm leaning towards breaking the lot up to sell it.  I'll sell the WoM book by itself, and the white box with the three original books and supplement as well.  Any thoughts on whether the Greyhawk, Blackmoor, and Gods, Demingods ... should be sold individually, together, or included with the white box?

Thanks for looking, and thanks again for your help.

Thanks to the help and insight I got on these boards, and a large bit of holiday loosening of the purse strings, the lot went for nearly $800 on ebay -- way more than the $275 offered by T&T .  All auctions have been completed and paid.

For anyone else stumbling across this thread in the future, here's the final breakdown:
Warriors of Mars - $446.81
White Box 5th - $164.50
Gods DemiGods (1st) - $81
Greyhawk (4th) - $60
Blackmoor (2nd) - $47

Thank you all.  -- this is way better than I expected.  Unfortunately my D&D trove is exhausted at the moment (unless there are some more unknown treasures lurking in the boxes in the attic).  I'll keep my eye out for more in my wanderings, and if I find anything of interest, I'll check back in here.  Goodbye til then!

Would that be Troll & Toad the eBay reseller?
