Assuming none of these items are rare editions(not likely anyway), and assuming these are all very good condition except for the items which specifically state otherwise, what would you think this is actually worth(what it would sell on eBay for) AND what would you offer?  That's two questions.  I am not personally interested in any of the items.  They would all be resold on eBay.  Any help or advice appreciated.  This is the first time I've tried re-selling, and figured it might work.  I got a bite!

My personal guess is that this is worth(would sell on eBay for) between $190.00 & $200.00, which means I should initially offer $100.00 for everything going to a maximum of $125.00.

bclarkie wrote:Personally, I'd say this lot you have listed isn't worth much more than $125 IMO.  Those 2nd edition splat books are almost impossible to sell most of the time and thats even if you list them at $.99 each.   Also, even those unopened Ravenloft items aren't likely to get you more than $5 a piece.  The only items in that lot that are worth more than $5 each are the Wizard's Spell Compendiums and assuming that they are in solid condition, they should net you in the range of $15 and $20 each, but other than that, thats it.

I greatly appreciate your opinion.  Thank you, thank you.  I am not very good at this since this is my first time trying to do this.  Unless somebody else disagrees, I'm guessing I should offer $50.00 and go to a max of $75.00.  Anybody else want to weigh in?

I did sell my EMs (all four volumes) but I listed them low to get rid of them (sold between $10 - 15 each). I'd say $75 is a good amount, considering the worth of the Encyclopedias. I don't think it'd get more than that, unless someone really, really, wanted it.

[Edit]

Oops, you meant Wizard Spell Compendiums. Are all four of them there? If not, then I'd say $75 might be a little high, seeing as you'd end up with an incomplete set.

You are right, it's not a complete set.  I'm now thinking my max should be $60.00.  I really appreciate all this advice.  The more, the better. Thanks!

If you get the lot, I'll give you $5 for the Complete Ranger's Handbook, I've been trying to find a excellent+ condition copy to replace my dog-eared, torn up one to no avail....
