Now that 4e is here, are you planning to sell all of your 3/3.5e stuff, or are you going to keep it, or sell some of it? Just curious.
Keep Keep Keep.
I have my 1E AD&D stuff, my 2E books AND my 3.X books :)

Hell no! I still have NES games under my bed from when I was 7. You'll take my gaming supplies from me when you pull them from my cold dead hands (hopefully still clutching my lucky d20!)
I rarely sell old gaming material. There is usually some useful fluff buried in any old rule set.
Keeping the stuff here. Even if our group goes 4E, I've already sorted out what I want to keep and what I'll lose. If we stay in 3.X, then I might just want it for some reason :p
I keep it. I'll need to for reference in some years time when I'm arguing with people that 5E is really a great system and has made so many improvements on 4E its not even funny. At this point it will be important to point out that 'look you could already do that 3.5 - in fact you could probably do it better in 3.5, therefore your position that 4E is the pinicle of gaming and all the changes made in 5E are drek is untenable.'
Keep it. Love it. Play it.
I sold most of my stuff already. Still trying to find a buyer for various GameMastery modules and the entire Rise of the Runelords collection, though. :-(
I keep everything and I never throw away books. I think I'd roll up into a ball and die. They go onto one of the bookshelves I have for that purpose, along with my older paperback classics and the older editions.
keeping it, i also still have the vast majority of stuff i have ever bought. (i had to sell some stuff in 1988 to replace a drive shaft on my 1979 f150, but not much)
keep it keep it.
get together, drink beer, role dice
Keep. Going to play both and mine ideas from one to other.
Keep it. How else will you have source material for motivations and behavior of beholders? 4e isn't interested in providing any.
And that's just one example.
I'm keeping it all! I sold all my 2e stuff when I switched to 3e because 3e was mostly strictly better than 2e. But 4e is different enough from 3e, and not strictly better, so there's plenty of use left in them. (And I also know that the moment I sold my 3e books, the God of Cruel Irony would immediately send me an awesome 3e game in my rp-desert part of the world.)

Resists urge to counter-argue :D
I'll cull the 3.X stuff. Spell compendium, Ebberon, DMG2, PHB2, etc. are on their way out. I already dumped some of my other WOTC stuff. I'm keeping the core 3, Unearthed Arcana (which is OGL), and the Rules Compendium at least until the Pathfinder Beta comes out at Gencon, and probably until Pathfinder's release in 09. Ptolus, Expedition to Castle Ravenloft, Red Hand of Doom, and ROTRL stay. Oh, and they can take my Dungeon when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.
Edit: Yay! 300th post. Now I'm only 5,302,193 behind some of the rest of you. ;)
Resists urge to counter-argue :D
Thanks :)
In hindsight, my post was probably a bit inappropriate. Bashing 4e isn't the point of the thread. Sorry.

Good man (or woman). If you come to Gencon I'll give you a hug. Of course, that might be incentive to skip. :D
Be excellent to each other.
Party on.

2nd edition is actually better for this except for the stuff explicitly featured in one of the splat books. They had a whole page for every creature and headings specifically stating things like 'ecology & habitat'. Best monster ... binder ever IMO.
I will keep all of my stuff (which mostly is composed of 3.5 books)
Hell, I still have my AD&D books and 2E books. I also have some of the stuff from my box set of OD&D, even if the box has long decomposed somewhere. Each game was good for its time and we still pull them down to play now and again.
I'm keeping mine too. No need to sell 'em and having them lets you play both editions.
~laugher~ Nice try, Heathy! You are NOT getting my books!
I sold most of my stuff already. Still trying to find a buyer for various GameMastery modules and the entire Rise of the Runelords collection, though. :-(How much are you asking? Is it listed anywhere? I am seriously considering it as I only got into Pathfinder with CotCT.
10 bucks a pop, or 50 bucks for the complete set (a ten dollar savings!!!1!1!111!!ONE!1!!).
Since I'm not asking a lot, if I gotta mail it then you gotta foot the bill on shipping. :-(

This.
I have my BECMI D&D(If I don't like D&D 4th edition, this is what I will switch to), AD&D, 2nd Edition AD&D, 3.5 (which I have more adventures for than 1st and 2nd edition combined), Savage Worlds, MERP 2nd edition, Alternity (Star Drive, Gamma World, Dark Matter), Amazing Engine (Bughunters and For Faerie, Queen and Country), Warhammer 1st and 2nd edition, Star Frontiers, Palladium Fantasy, Rifts, Heroes Unlimited, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Robotech (original and Shadow Chronicles), d6 Space, RuneQuest, Castles and Crusades, Lejendary Adventures, Call of Cthulhu 4th edition, GURPS 4th edition (with lots of sourcebooks for 3rd), World of Darkness (Mortals, Vampire, Werewolf, Changeling, Mage, and lots of stuff for the older Mage: Ascension and Changeling: The Dreaming), Deleria (beautiful book, but nearly unplayable), Earthdawn, Dominion: Tank Police, Sailor Moon RPG, A few supplements for HERO (Western Hero and Post-Apocalypse Hero), a couple supplements for Harn, Shadowrun 2nd and 3rd edition (with 1st edition adventures), Deadlands and Deadlands: H.O.E.
That's not even counting all the games I've lost over the years that I wish I still had.
~laugher~ Nice try, Heathy! You are NOT getting my books!I already stole them! Mwaha!
NOOOOO!!!!! ~falls to my knees and cries~ Why, Cruel World? WHY?!?

Keep, keep, keep!
I have loads of good memories associated with my 1ed game books.
I'd like to sell a lot of my 3rd edition books, particularly the "complete" series of books, the "races of" series, and some of the other splat books like the Book of Exalted Deeds, Dragonomicon, and just about anything else that I wasn't that interested in in the first place.
Hell, I'd even like to sell some modules.
I definitely will keep the three core rulebooks, and a chunk of books that I enjoyed reading and wouldn't want to part with (I always enjoy reading monster manuals)
I'm not sure what is fair to ask for them, since they are all in good condition.
I also have a lot of 2nd edition material that I want to get rid of, but couldn't bear to throw away: including the first two core books, and a butt load of those supplementary volumes.
The way I see it is: I can't just hold on to everything forever. I wouldn't sell the first edition stuff because its just too precious to me, but 2nd edition I never played and just bought material compulsively. 3rd has some good memories, but I'm ready to move on.
My only hope is that these volumes will go to a good home, but I have no way of getting rid of them conventionally.
Well, since I still have the little brown booklets I bought mail order in 1975, I am probably still keeping the 3.5 books.
P.S My booklets are the cheap white box edition rather than the much more collectable wood grain edition my buddy bought the year before.

I will take the whole lot and pay shipping. Send me an email at outlander1@prodigy.net to make arrangements.

You, sir, got a steal at that price. Well worth it IMO.
Done and done.
I'm keeping the core stuff and all of my Eberron stuff, but I'm going to try to get rid of A LOT of stuff that I just know I'll never touch. A lot of 3rd party stuff, some old 2nd edition crap, etc.
I've already sold my 3.0 books, but only in the last couple of months. I still have my 1st edition books, Chainmail, Unearthed Arcana, original Blackmoor, etc. I even pull them out occasionally, with my old maps and campaign notes, just to see if there is something useful. Much of the "fluff" of the existing material will stay useful, and there is so much of it that could be converted, if Wizards takes too long getting around to it. I'll probably sell some stuff that I never used anyway, like Savage Species, but the Eberron and Forgotten Realms books I'll keep, as I will most of the rest of the material...along with my copy of Castlemorn and Blackmoor.

I had quite the collection of 3.5 stuff. Then once 4.0 came out, i gave all of my 3.5 collection away to a fellow player, and will never collect in such quanities again. I will, however, continue to collect great modules.
For now on, it's core books only, but now; i spead my time with Traveller, Star Frontiers, Gamma World, and WFRP. Sure, i play others, but because of 4.0, i will never again collect. Could this have been different? Sure, if 4.0 was Pathfinders 3.75, 3.5e, or 3.5a, or whatever one wants to call it.
Please understand that i am not complaining, it's just the way it is.
In summary; will i continue playing 3.5 as well as Pathfinder with its backward-compatible rules. Definitely! It fills a niche that will never go away.
Thoth-Amon
Now that 4e is here, are you planning to sell all of your 3/3.5e stuff, or are you going to keep it, or sell some of it? Just curious.
I'll be keeping all of my old 3.x stuff, and might even buy some more if the price goes down. I'd like to keep it all for collection purposes as well as using it for ideas for 4E - especially all my old Eberron books considering they only plan a few 4E books.
Sell game product? What sort of insanity is that, haha.
