I'm in the process of downsizing and found my white box set of D&D rules.  I used your site and figured out it is a Fifth Edition.  I received the set as a gift in 1976 and never used it since I already had the rules.  The box has been handled and has a small stain.  The three books have never been used.  They have sat in the box since I received it.  I also have well thumbed copies of the rules as well as Greyhawk and Blackmore.  What is the best way to go about selling these?  I checked a few online stores and for what they offered I'll keep them for the memories.

I just noticed the Classified and Appraisal forums.  I'll post some pic's and go from there.  Not a real fan of Ebay.  I've never tried it.

That's a great place to start.  There are people on this site who can give you great advice and feedback on what your items are worth.   8)

FB sales groups are only for Facebook users, of course.
Some such groups prohibit (and delete) links to the Acaeum.
They seem to dislike Informed Buyers.
I thus don't use them any more.


My friends Dave & Gary made a quantum leap in entertainment. Remember them.

After I sent my original post... it dawned on me. I should of suggested to use the "Collecting Appraisals" or "Classifieds" sections first.

And ExTSR is correct -- some of the FB groups can be difficult to work with.

Facebook Acaeum doesn't prohibit links to the Acaeum, we encourage it. We don't dislike informed buyers, we encourage them.
