We've got a pile of Magic The Gathering cards & D&D books.

A bit of checking and we found we are sitting on a $25.00 gold mine!

Some kids have better taste, I guess.

Old stuff saved....

I found out a long time ago that paces usually give 10-15% of current resale value. So for a $100 book or LP you would receive $15 or so. Or you could rent a space at a convention or sales place, bring a table and chairs, stay all day long, hope to scarf down a quick sandwich for meals and watch people walk by without actually buying anything you tried to sell. I never did it but I was the guy walking by at many SF and stamp collecting sales.

Interesting overheard story: I was at a revered record store
and heard a woman saying “So this is a sealed valuable Beatles LP and you verified it is the rare one. But you and the other two places don’t want to buy it yourselves to sell. So where would it have the value the internet says it has?” Manager: “Well, maybe you could try ebay or selling it at a table at a collectible record convention.”
