I've decide to get out of Pathfinder for the interim as with two kids under five I just don't have the time anymore to play and keep up with the game. I figure by the time they will be able to play there will be a new edition out and I'll be buying new books anyway. So I'm selling my collection, as well as my Star Wars Saga books, in order to buy camera gear and pay for new board games and such. Here are the links to the auctions:

If you know anyone who might be interested please spread the word. Thanks!
Alas, you don't offer shipping to the UK and even if you did I suspect it would end up cheaper to just buy them over here. So good luck. I'll see if any of the American folk I know would be interested.

You might want to keep hold of the Beginners Box. My 6-yr old got a real kick out of defeating Black Fang with the aid of his mum.
Edit: Typo killed.

dm4hire, I'm not saying that you're wrong, and I hope you don't interpret my message to mean that.
However, the time your children are able to play might not be quite so far off. My older child started playing BECMI at the age of 7. My younger child started BECMI at 4, Pathfinder RPG (the full, unexpurgated, Core Rulebook version, in a campaign set in Golarion using the Inner Sea World Guide) at 6, and MEGS (a superhero RPG) at 7.
And I'm sure that many will agree with me that a new edition of PFRPG is not coming any time in the near future.
Of course, I don't know you. You might prefer to teach your kids about photography, for example, over teaching them RPGs. But in addition to the Beginner Box, you might want to reconsider selling the more fundamental core books.

My kids are 12, 10, and 8, and we've been playing Pathfinder (including all the Advanced and Ultimate material as it appeared) for the past three years. Are they expert tacticians? No, of course not, but they know how to use their characters' abilities to kill stuff, survive, and most importantly, have fun! :) I certainly wouldn't come in here and try and changes someone's mind about their life, but I'll echo Aaron, the age of Pathfinder might not be as far off as you think.

I'd consider keeping everything. OP already has a wealth of gaming material, and it'd make teaching the kids really easy, already having so much to work with. By that point, you'd be extremely well versed with the content in the books, and teaching would be easy.
Also, there's no telling what a future-edition of the game might present. It could be something that doesn't jive with your playstyle, and leave you pining for all those old books you used to own. Been there, done that.
Yeah, my sister's not-quite-2-year-old is using an iPad already :)
It's also possible that the OP already has the digital versions of these works. And by the time his kids grow up, they'll all be using Ipads anyway. :)I'd consider keeping everything.

Hmm, good point.
Don't do it! I made the mistake of saying I was too busy for gaming with school/baby and let my ex-husband take all the D&D, Pathfinder... even the gaming consoles when he moved out and I SERIOUSLY regret it.
PDF's just aren't the same!
When I finally released my mistake I had an old 3.5 D&D PHB and a small handful of dice!

Admittedly I'm building up my collection again after a nasty breakup. Since one party came in with almost every book Paizo put out, and I didn't feel like paying for most of the same stuff over (bills take precedence)--well, now I'm buying what I want and need for my current campaign.
My kid likes running games for other kids his age. He uses the Beginner Box.
For us it was digital watches.

Thanks for the responses and sorry I'm late getting back to everyone. I do have quite a few PDFs of the stuff I'm selling and those I don't have won't be that hard to purchase later. I have thought about what game I will be teaching them and am currently waiting to see how Little Wizards by Crafty Games turns out as it sounds like the book is written entirely from the ground up for little ones.
I am pretty sure I will be back at some point to active play, but really I’ve been looking at a lot of different games. I’ve always been big on the next big game or at least new game on the block. I’ve also sold enough RPG material over the past 25 years that I probably could have funded my own business by now had I not bought the books. I tend to slash and burn when it comes to transitioning to new editions which is something I think is related to my Italian heritage. (I once heard of an Italian miner here in Iowa that every time he moved he left everything behind. When he died they found five houses in his name with a car in each garage.) Anyway I have sold off four editions of D&D, having owned just about every book in order to start something new. I also download every free rpg I come across whether it’s a demo, a beta, homebrewed, or some forgotten game idea someone posted so it wouldn’t be forgotten. And now I’m into kickstarters and patronage programs, as well as preoders… so yeah, not really getting out of gaming as just chasing the new.
Anyway, thanks for the responses and keep gaming.
As for my auctions some stuff sold. Here’s a list of what has be relisted on eBay that didn’t sell from last week. I cut the auction down so it ends on Sunday. Take care.
