I am looking to sell about 700 items, mostly RPG books from the d20 era (and in near mint condition), but also some board games and even some PC computer games. Nothing is extremely valuable (as far as know, I didn't check the price of every item) so I'd like to sell it in bulk in one shot. Which reseller would be the best to mail the entire lot to? Noble Knight? Troll & Toad? Titan? Someone else? Though it could be sent media mail, is it cost prohibitive? Better to just offload them at a local second hand book shop for a dollar a book? Any big resellers in the Phoenix, Arizona area who would do a pick-up? Advice of forum members greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

If you're looking for a quick, easy, and complete sale for the whole lot, NobleKnight is probably your best bet (but you'll most likely be absorbing a significant discount towards your lot's value).  They even make shipping very simple.

While it would take several hours, listing everything you have here and supply at least ten pictures of some of the more valuable items as well as a wide shot or two, you might just get a buyer here.  I suspect even Noble Knight is going to want a list anyway, so better to give it a shot than take Noble Knight's drastic cut.  I heard of a bulk offer recently where they offered roughly $4.00 an item.  If the lot is in good shape overall, you should be able to find a $5.00 per item offer, maybe more.  Finally, if you search these threads, you should be able to find other sellers who had a similar dilemma and how we answered their concerns/interests.   8)


Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

ME!! ME!!!

Heh, I could only wish I had the funds for such a large purchase.

I did have some dealings with NKG some years ago. Yes it was easy, and yes, the price I got per book wasn't great (but better than a used book store). In my case, though, I received store credit. It wasn't a huge amount of material (just a couple dozen items).

If you don't mind waiting a bit and doing legwork, putting things up for sale here in the Classifieds (and possibly other forums like Dragonsfoot, too) could cut the size down a bit and get you more $$$, and then take the remainder to NKG or whatever you choose.

Wayne's Books is in Maricopa. Probably your best bet for someone local. I have only had dealings with him as a buyer, never selling to him, but my experience has always been positive.


Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games
