Hi... it's been a while since I last posted here. It's also been a long time since I last played Ravenloft. Owning so many books doesn't really make any sense anymore.

I own the following:
- Campaign setting (hardcover)
- Dungeon Master Guide (hardcover)
- Denizens of Darkness (hardcover)
- Masque of the Red Death (hardcover)
- Secrets of the Dread Realms (+DM Screen)
- Champions of Darkness
- Heroes of Light
- Dark Tales & Disturbing Legends
- Gazeteers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
- Van Richten's Arsenal Vol.1
- Van Richten's Guide to the Shadow Fey
- Expedition to Castle Ravenloft (hardcover)
All in good condition.


How much would this net me? Since there are 16 books in there and 5 of them are hardcover, what would be a fair price? 200 dollars?
Is it better to sell them separately? I'd rather sell all of it together, though... :/
Is anyone here interested maybe?

I appologise if this question is completely out of place. :)

Well, if you're selling them separately, then I'd be interested in taking some of them off your hands. Let me check what I got and what I don't have and get back to you. Although I'm definitely interested in those Gazetteers. I only have the first two and need the latter three. Also interested in Denizens of Darkness.

Not at all. It is a good question.


Gaz 4 and 5 are pretty rare. If you sell them on ebay they should go between $25 and $50. I would put Gaz 1,2,3 between $12 to $25 each.

The others are between $5 and $12 each, except perhaps for the hardcovers which should fetch a little bit more.

If you list them on ebay you should bundle some of the more more undesirable ones (HoL, CoD, SotDR) lest you'll be left with them, but be aware that you will get less in total with bundling. Put the SotDR together with the Core Rules, and HoL together with CoD. Perhaps the RLDMG together with the RLPHB, and VRGttSF and VRGttWD. The rest definately alone.

Now if you don't want to list them on ebay I'm sure you'll find enough interested buyers on this here site. Just remember that you save a lot of work and ebay fees so it's okay if the price is a little bit lower than what I quoted above.

BTW you don't happen to have a Tarokka deck too, do you?

Ok, I'd like to buy the following:

- Denizens of Darkness (hardcover)
- Gazeteers 3, 4, 5
- Van Richten's Guide to the Shadow Fey

So how much would you sell them to me, for?

Incidentally, anyone interested in buying or trading for these two books?

I've got two of each, and naturally, have no use for two copies. I'd like to sell them, but I'd rather trade for them. So anyone got any 2E or 3E books they have and don't want/need, and are willing to trade to get these? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.

I don't have a Tarokka deck, sadly. I could've been rich! :D



Edit: Soth, I'm not 100% sure if I'm going to sell them. I'll let you know though.

Well, I wouldn't if I were you. I've sold a fair number of books, and I always end up regretting it. Don't know if the same is true for you, but if I were you, I'd keep them. Though if you do decide to sell, I'd appreciate you giving me first dibs. ;)

Damn! Wish I'd seen this, sooner. I would've paid the Buy It Now price in a heartbeat if it were still available! :(

In case someone's interested, here's a really inexpensive copy of Van Richten's Guide to the Shadow Fey, that's going to end soon.

A search for Ravenloff (a common misspelling) reveals a few interesting auctions: Ravenloft novels in french.

Since a number of people here are Canadian, I was just wondering if anyone in southern Ontario knew of some stores with used gaming books that might have some older AD&D 2E Ravenloft kicking around.

I am really hesitant about buying things without being able to see it now after a boxed set that arrived minus some maps, and some source material that was nowhere near the condition described by the online seller.

Thanks~
