captain_slinkyJust posted a nice big bunch of RPG books on Ebay. D&D2e, Warhammer and Warhammer 40k to be exact.
I like the money i get from these sales, but despise the unrelenting and/or unanswerable non-stop stream of questions that I'll be answering for the next week till the auctions end.
The most complex/difficult question I've ever had to answer about a role playing game yet? "Do you know what month this copy of the book was purchased?" Apparently this particular book had two printings marked as being published in the same year without being designated as a "First" and "Second" printing; books purchased in shops before August of that year were more desirable than the ones from after that. And all he could say is that "The pictures would look clearer than in the later edition". Which would have been GREAT if i had two or more copies to contrast and compare.

The biggest item is a D&D 2nd Ed "Rules Cyclopedia", wyhich is all of the everything that was ever printed before AD&D (Core, Basic and Expert) plus rules for converting characters from each of those previous editions to use for AD&D 2nd Ed.
Also up there is an old 2nd Ed DM's Guide, a Dark Sun sourcebook and a bunch of Warhammer and Warhammer 40k books.
