Hello! I am selling my husband's RPG books on eBay and thought putting up a notice here might be a good idea. (And yes, I have his permission to be selling them. We have over 3,000 books in our home and he's desperate for the shelf space.)

There are a variety of books from Palladium, GURPS, Rifts, Traveller, Hunter, TimeLords by BTRC and The Morrow Project. I have many, many more to list, so there will be other books in the near future.

It would be obnoxious to link to each auction, but if you click here (http://search.ebay.com/ws/search/SaleSearch?sofocus=bs&satitle=&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC5&fbd=1&amp%3Bsspagename=h%3Ah%3Aadvsearch%3AUS&from=R6&nojspr=y&fscl=1&pfid=0&fswc=1&few=&saprclo=&saprchi=&fss=1&saslop=1&sasl=books_to_infinity&fls=4%26floc%3D1&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D0&salic=1&saatc=1&sadis=200&fpos=78758&fsct=&sacur=0&sacqyop=ge&sacqy=&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&sabdlo=&sabdhi=&saaff=afdefault&afmp=&afcj=&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1&fcl=3&frpp=50), it will show all my listings. If the link is messed up, I am books_to_infinity on eBay.

I am an old hand at selling books but I know very little about RPGs and the books associated with them. If I've overlooked some important info in the listings, please do contact me with any questions.

Regards to all!

8/10/06: Added books from the Twilight: 2000 RPG.

Hi everyone, I am the husband in question. I used to post quite often here on RPGNet, but that was a few years ago -- so long ago that I've forgotten my login name!

My wife has been getting more than a few emails asking if it's okay for her to be selling my games. For the record it's okay with me: I used to play or GM different games several times a week, but to be honest I haven't touched a game seriously at all so far this century. My interests have changed, and frankly so have I.

So I have an entire floor-to-ceiling bookcase full of RPGs just gathering dust -- why let them rot? Ghostrose runs a book selling business on the side (to support our reading habit, really), so I asked her to sell them for me. If she gets something wrong (title, system, etc.), it's not her fault but mine for not communicating it clearly to her. Please PM me if I can clarify anything.

Finally, she'll be posting the next round of sales in a week or two which will include older 1st edition Vampire and Mage books (priced to move), some boxed Runequest (Chaosium and Avalon Hill), older FGU and Hero Games boxed sets, and a veritable buttload of Traveller stuff: Classic Traveller (small black) books, boxed editions of Snapshot and Striker, supplements by DGP and FASA, MegaTraveller boxed sets and books, back issues of Challenge magazine and the Journal of the Traveller's Aid Society, GURPS Traveller deck plans, and more stuff I can't remember offhand. I'll ask her to reply to this thread when she has them up.

Best,
SK

Added books from Vampire: The Masquerade.

Will be adding books from Mage: The Ascension and LOTS and LOTS of Traveller journals and game books over the next couple of days.

Again, you can see all the auctions here (http://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyeBay&LogUID=books_to_infinity&CurrentPage=MyeBaySelling&ssPageName=STRK:ME:LNLK&PageTime=16203&TimedPage=MyEbaySummary).

And just to mention that whole "Hey, I have permission to sell these!" thing: After hearing some horror stories of intrustive wives and girlfriends getting rid of priceless books without consulting the owner first, I can see now why people were alarmed when I said I was selling my husband's books. Man, who knew (well, evidently a lot of people knew but I didn't...)? It's pretty cool when people look out for the collections of complete strangers ;)
