Hi
Several years ago I purchased at a car boot sale an original fifth edition of D&D for a couple of pounds. The box (Pic of Wizard zappng some orcs) has some slight damage and wear but the three books "men & magic", "monsters & treasure" and The Underworld & wilderness adventures" (along with a copy of "Greyhawk" and Eldritch wizardry") are in near mint condition (only slight discoloration due to age).

It has taken me a long time to get round to looking at values but I would be interested in your thoughts.

Thanks

There are price estimates on this site.  The main point if you are interested in selling, is to describe the condition well; e.g. are the box corners all intact, or are some split?  Are the reference sheets still there?  Is there staple rust on the booklets?  etc...  good luck.

I'm assuming you found this page

http://www.acaeum.com/ddindexes/rulebooks.html

but if not, it is a great start for getting an idea of what pricing area you are looking at.
