Hello, I am totally new to this all, and apologies if this is not the right place for this. I have found myself to be in the possession of a large number of old dungeons and dragons books and other related stuff. This was given to me by a friend of a friend that used to work for TSR back in the day.
I got the following books and the tote that I thought looked cool:

Welcome

That's a nice assortment of (mostly) 2E stuff.


Are you looking for valuation and selling tips, then?

Yeah, valuation mainly and some selling tips. I looked at a couple of the modules and listed some on ebay on their own- each for around 60ish bucks. I'm not sure if it makes more sense to bundle them together to sell, or sell the whole thing together, or sell each piece individually. Also for some of the items- like the tote- I can't find anything about it.
Thanks :)

Nice collection.

Being 2nd edition, you will not get the same prices as the OD&D or 1E, because the print runs were much larger.

That said: Dark Sun, Ravenloft and Plancescape usually sell quite well, especially when in the conditions you are advertising your products.

If you want no effort, sell it as one lot on ebay. You could get around 1000USD, maybe more. If you sell everything individually, it could become a lot more. If you want to maximize the value, I'd sell the sealed, Ravenloft, Dark Sun and Planescape individually, and bundle the rest.

Gothic Earth Gazettee, Baba Yaga, Wind Riders, Harbinger House, Planescape MCs could, if you find the right buyer, command 100USD each.

Oh cool- thanks!
Does anyone have any idea if the tote or books are worth anything?

eBay listings

I listed some of the sealed products here- I just sort of went by what they were being sold at if I found any. Do these seem like reasonable prices?
