Congradulations.

. . . Entertainment Concepts (1982) Search for the Lost City: A Jungle Adventure - sells for $40-50 IIRC
. . . Tortured Souls! - sell for $10-20 a magazine

Most of the non-TSR stuff there is in the $20+ range, with the exception of the Judges Guild stuff. The JG Wilderlands and the JG Wondeous Weapons are particularly valuable, again, $40-50 IIRC.

Most of the nonTSR stuff is uncommon but not terribly difficult to find.  Probably the rarest item of the lot is:

Entertainment Concepts (1982) Search for the Lost City: A Jungle Adventure

The value is probably around $40 but could go for $25-$100.  For some of the others, I would value them as follows:

Midkemia Press:

$35-$40 Jonril, Gateway to the Sunken Lands-with Map (co-author Raymond E. Feist!!!)

Bard Games:

$5-$8 The Compleat Spellcaster
$5-$8 The Compleat Adventurer

Chaosium:

$10-$15 Carse (Midkemia Press City)
$10-$15 Cities

The Companions:

$15-$20 Plague of Terror
$15-$20 Highroad
$15-$20 Streets of Gems
$20-$25 Gems for Death
$15-$20 Cards of Power
$15-$20 Sylvan Settings

Beast Enterprises Ltd.:

$10 Tortured Souls 4
$10 Tortured Souls 5
$10 Tortured Souls 8

There are some issues of Tortured Souls that are difficult to find that would obtain more but these aren't them.

Dungeon Magazine:

$25 each Issues 2-6
$3 each Issues 7-13, 15-18, 20, 21

Dungeon magazines 1-6 hold some value ($25+) but the rest I would ask $2-$3 (if I were selling them).

$5-$10 Game Master Publications GM3 In Search of New Gods
$5-$10 The Armory (1986) 30-sided Character and Other Tales
$20-$25 Heritage Models (1978) Rules for Wargames, Wizards and Warfare, by Peter Irving
$15 Squadron/Signal Publications (1981) Down in the Dungeon (Color artwork)

When I was an active collector I never saw any of these for sale:

Entertainment Concepts (1982) Search for the Lost City: A Jungle Adventure

I'd imagine it would go for over $100 easy, there's gotta be a bunch of people hunting for this set.

They do come along but not very often.  I have probably only seen about 4 copies of this one pass through Ebay.  The adventures are generally pretty short and mediocre in quality.  Most seem like they would be a nice little intro to a bigger adventure (rather than anything stand alone).

Here's a list of a bunch of others:

$100 is probably about the top end for these.  One seller (thedaleks) had a copy of the Crystal Sword adventure that I am still looking for but he didn't ship to Canada.  He listed it 3 times, the first time had no bids at an opening of $10, the second, it was at $20 and he canceled the auction with about an hour to go and the third time I think it ended about $30.  Games/Emporium/JonB/Lisa sold one recently that ended up going for $100.  I think I pushed the ones that Frank (whale tagger) sold a couple years ago up around $90 each but they went to Lance, then at the same time, I found a bunch at an online used bookstore for under $10 each.

It doesn't seem like there are a lot of people willing to pay the big price tag for a lot of nonTSR stuff these days.  If it was one that I needed, I would probably only be bidding upto maybe $50.

Grats on the find.  Lots of cool stuff there.

Direct link to the "By Title" page of the Booty List for your Judges Guild items.  The laminated maps hurt the value, but to some it probably wouldn't matter.  Others you can check the site to see what printing you have, as of course value maybe effected in that case.
Great Haul though, one of those we all wish to stubble upon someday.  I can only imagine the excitement of the find by how you posted.

Laminated maps would be awesome to an active gamer.

Given the common price of the maps themselves (when they appear) I'd wager that the laminated ones are close in value.

Congratulations and welcome to the boards!  
So what was it that gave you the tip to call that comic store?

Thx.    I did a blog post on the lack of stores selling gaming stuff in CT, and a guy pointed me to a list of comic stores.  I looked up CT, and saw one in my home town which I didn't even know existed.  I called them up, and the rest is history.

Here is the list I used.

Interestingly enough, I went to a different comic store on that list today, and they also had some older D&D books in a box.  In this case it was older 3.x books.  Still, I picked up a few of the ones that were interesting.  

I may be making a tour of the CT comic stores over the next few months...

If you have any near you don't forget used bookstores.

There's plenty of d20/3/3.5E that's worth buying and either holding on to, or reselling. Anything by Necromancer Games at the right price, selected titles from Troll Lord Games, Goodman Games, Green Ronin, and a raft of obscurities. Not to mention the 3 core books fromWoTC, the leather bound versions, a few of the better compendiums, and the Expedition to's.

Bear in mind that the next generation of collector will be viewing the 3.5E core set and modules the same way the younger members of this board look on the BECMI and Compendium, and the older of uss look on the core 1E hardbacks.

Now's the chance to squirrel away a few core hardbacks in brand new mint condition.
