I am about to buy most of the monochrome modules in collectible condition from a private seller that contacted me here. Anyway that leaves me with D1-3 and G1-3 in condition that ranges from pretty good to three whole punched with some staining and writing in pencil. I was planning on listing them via eBay where I have sold stuff before, just not D&D related.

So my question is should I list them as one large lot, 2 smaller lots by series, or individually. Time and convenience are not a factor for me just getting the most fair price. Any of you guys with experience have any thoughts?

Personally I'd list them individually and allo the good ones to do their best without being dragged down by a lemon. However, from your description, you're not selling anything that'd fetch more than $5, so you may want to just put a photo on Dragonsfoot.org's Classified and sell them privately. Their players are not generally looking for collector quality, just good playable copies at reasonable prices.


This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Absolutely try and use classifieds first. You avoid ebay fees! And if you can take a check, you get to avoid paypal fees. Much less hassle. You might also try and sell them Noble Knight or one of the other online resellers. You might do better with trade dollars if you are looking for something else.


And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

This is the saving grace to NKG's high prices - the trade offers are also high, so it balances out.

Thank you both for mentioning this, as it never occurred to me to consider trading. I will look into all the suggestions thus far.

Thank you all for taking the time to give some feedback.
