That collection could be worth $50 to $700 depending on condition and editions.

 It sounds like the seller might not know much about the books and is just selling an old personal collection.  Chances are it's worth about $100 to $200.  Everything hinges on condition and edition though so I would really press for a picture or at least a general description as to scuffing, scribbling, and tears.

 If you press for too much info that is indicative of first editions and they hit, then you run a risk of keying your seller in on what to look for and you'll drive the price up or drive the seller directly to Ebay.

 Good luck!

So,



I went and looked at the collection of AD&D materials mentioned above, and I was pleasantly surprised.  All of the stuff was in really good condition (Fine to VFine) I would say.  Little to no markings and everything looked nice.  Thus I purchased the whole collection.  The list is at the end of this post.



I'm going to go through the lot again and cross reference it against what I need for my collection.  I figure a large portion of it, along with these items, will be up for resale.  First to Acaeum members, then ebay.  Therefore, if people reading this want to put "dibs" on any of this stuff, feel free to email (I will ship internationally).  Otherwise keep an eye on the Classifieds section.

PS-as the emails start to roll in, I just wanted to say that some of this stuff I will be keeping.  I will post a definate "for sale" list in the Classifieds section soon.  Thus if you email me to put dibs on some stuff, please realize not everything on your list may be for sale.  Thanks.
