I'm having a total clearout, and 25 years of RPGs have got to go. A couple of hundred books in total, including a lot of top-quality newish stuff (including Nobilis, complete sets of Orpheus and Blue Planet, and good libraries of Hero, GURPS, Decipher Trek) and some golden oldies (RQ3, Dr Who, Jorune, Ghostbusters, MERP, 1st Ed Star Wars). Not much D20 though. Now while I could set up an eBay shop to move them all on, that will take a fair bit of time and effort, and I'd prefer to sell them as a single lot. There's a fantastic core of stuff in there that would virtually start a secondhand shop...

Can anyone tell me if there's a shop in the UK that is prepared to take that volume of material off my hands in one go?

Or would y'all prefer me to go via Ebay so you can get your grubby mitts on them? :D

Yes :)

Even if you get rid of the bulk to a dealer, I reckon there will be some items it would be worth separating out and auctioning individually. Some MERP titles for instance go for silly money on Ebay, and I doubt a dealer quoting for a whole collection would really reflect that in his price.

You could give Troutmark Books a call on 029 2038 2814. They buy and sell second-hand RPGs, although I seem to keep catching them at times when they're not buying.

They're in Cardiff, though.
