I have a pretty good selection of 2e books that I have been lugging around for a good long time. I no longer use them and while I guess I could try to hock them on E-bay, I'd rather donate them to someone who will appreciate them. I played with them for the better part of a decade and it shows, but for the most part they're in good shape. You pay the shipping, I'll send them your way. Serious inquiries only. PM me if you want to work it out.
Mods, I hope this is ok. I am not attempting to solicit any money. This is a good faith transaction. If it is a problem, do what you must.

I really do not want to pick and choose too much. It is painful to part with them. Suffice it to say there are a lot. I realize that asking people to accept a random grab-bag of books for the price of shipping may be asking a lot, but well, kinda.
Please try to understand, I am not trying to make a million-and-one trips to the post office. If I start going through them one-by-one, I'm going to want to keep half of them. I'd like to send them off in "if it fits it ships boxes." |

Why you getting rid of them? (If I might ask)
And if I had my contents check already (they have a problem with all my 'collectibles'... Grrrr...), I'd say send them out right now.  |

| I have most of them on PDF and I am firmly entrenched in 3.5/PF. Tired of moving them. I'm a bit of a nomad. I gave up D&D for a time and got my fix playing MtG. Cards are a lot more portable. |

I'm surprised everybody is hesitant and suspicious; the usual adage about "if it's too good to be true", etc? I would happily accept your offer Fellfire, but (to my knowledge) I already have every AD&D 2E-era product ever published, probably multiple copies, and if I don't then several of my players certainly will. The last thing I'd want is to add more to my packrat hoard.
If nobody will claim your books then perhaps donate them to Candlekeep? Agreed, eBay would be painful ... but at least there'd be fair odds that those purchasing the books also love AD&D 2E. |

| I do understand people being suspicious, but this is no joke. I have entered into serious talks with a couple of Scribes willing and eager to take these off of my hand and give them a good home. Arranging the logistics for shipping 100+ pounds of books any distance is a bit of an undertaking. Please, no more PMs at this time. If things do not work out, I will post again. |

| Ayrik, well there certainly could be some concern about a scam, however the OP did request PMs. Also it appears has received enough. |

Oh, yeah. I'd forgotten about that. 
Do you still have the particulars? If so, let me know via the regular other channels, and I'll try to re-arrange payment. |

No-one could use them more then me, but the timing is just a bit off.
No worries.
Most of the stuff I can't find anywhere are probably the same things you wouldn't have (non-TSR material). |

| Sorry, Markus. I heard of your loss and that is devastating. I don't know what your preferred system is, but this is all TSR 2e rulebooks. If things do not work out with this whole-shebang-in-one-shot-deal, contact me by PM and I'll do what I can to provide you with a few treasures. |

I'll have to find where the box went to, and re-weigh it. There were other things you were interested in, that didn't get in the initial weighing of the box. I'll let you know.  |

@Fellfire - No worries - I will eventually replace all the books I want to replace, one way or another.
The Insurance Company is giving me a hard time ATM - we had settled on $147K figure, but now they rescinded that offer (after I was already awaiting the check) and I might have to bring them to court (nothing to do with the actual list of items - more to do with who lived where when). I'm confident I will win, but it just a pain-in-the-arse in the mean-time.
I've had the money for the house for 9 months already, so thats not a problem. I will be moving into my new home on the 1st of March, so long as there are no more surprises. Its just that there is no extra for anything until I get the contents check (or sell the old property, which I am also hoping for).
So when the money comes in, I'll be set, so don't even sweat it.

Believe it or not, those might be the only ones I still have... maybe.
I never found them when I moved out of my Ex's, so I might luck-out and eventually find them in the attic. Wasn't there also another set like that? A priest one? |

| Encyclopedia Magica (4 books) was magical items. Then there was a Priests (3 books) and Wizards Spell Compendium (4). |

That sounds good.
Though, to prevent further scroll derailing, perhaps we should take this conversation elsewhere -- if and when you're ready to proceed. |

I'm done here, Sage. You can close it down, if you'd like.
Sorry all. The eager mouse gets the cheese. |
