Has anyone had much luck selling off old gaming stuff? I've got a tentative sight unseen offer for over 250 Dragon Mags, and that's not even counting the duplicate 1e, 2e, and 3.0 stuff I'm going to liquidate along with huge box of vintage Rolemaster stuff, all in good to very good and even mint condition in some instances. If the FLGS guy doesn't pan out, I was thinking of going world wide with the offers.
So, how have you fared in selling off your old or excess materials?

Ive sold stuff through Ebay easily enough, but I dont generally get very good prices. NobleKnightGames is another place I've sold stuff - I found their offered prices quite reasonable if you're willing to take store credit but not so good if you're looking for cash. (If you're not in the US, they're not really interested in anything beyond very rare stuff).
If you dont have any luck, I'd be interested to hear what 1e and 2e stuff you have available.

Thanks. I've got some duplicate copies of the 1e DMG, PHB, Wilderness Survival Guide, Oriental Adventures, and Unearthed Arcana, all in very good to near mint condition. I have two copies of the Deities and Demigods with the Elric and Lovecraft mythos, but my son refuses to let me sell those. Also in mint condition... lol I already promised my FLGS first look, but if he's not interested and if anything here catches your eye let me know.

I have had good luck selling the harder to find items like boxed set (sold the Return to the Tomb of Horrors campaign box for something like $150 6-7 years ago) but things like the PHB, DMG, even Wilderness Survival Guides never seem to get much money. Magazines are even worse the best I've ever done on Dragon mags is about $1 per and that was really, really old issues in near mint condition. :(

Yeah, I don't figure I'll get much. I watched what people are trying to sell them for on ebay and I figure I'll take half that but no less. Chances are I'll get a combo of cash and store credit. As long as the cash outweighs the credit I'll be happy. I just need to make some space and we only play Pathfinder now (and occasionally d20 CoC) so my beloved collection should go to someone else. The Dragons are the hardest to get rid of, let me tell ya. I loved that magazine in the 80s and 90s.

I found some EARLY 1e modules in mint condition that I didn't even know I had. A lot of this stuff came from a friend who would prowl flea markets and think, "Cal would like this" and then by it. I've never used the vast bulk of it. I even have a small box of pewter miniatures that have never been painted and are still in the foam holding material. Hell, they may be actual lead.

I'm not so interested in the rulebooks, but 1E modules are something I'd definitely pay a decent price for if I dont already own them (assuming the FLGS isnt interested in them).
If you have a signficant Dragon magazine collection I might be interested also, but I'm really looking for the early stuff and only if there's a significant "block" of issues.

Well, my sale plans are slightly curtailed. I went to get the Dragon Mags from storage and my ex has lost the key to the building. Fortunately it's on her property so we can get a locksmith to get into it, but they were the trump card in the sale/trade in deal. I'll take the other stuff I have and see what I'm offered for them, but the Dragons will have to wait.
Dang it.
