Well, after two years, I'm out guys. I just don't have the interest anymore and life keeps getting in the way of playing on a regular basis. And don't get me started about those frakkin' D20's. I'd like to get $250 out of the set. You can see most of what I have on my Bloomilk trades list, under the same name I have here, lostcause64. A few figs are not listed due to not replacing stolen cards & figs from GenCon last year. I will be at GenCon this year, staying at the Marriott right across the street from the convention center. I don't want to part it out, just move the whole set with maps.

If I don't get any takers, it will go for what I can get in the Exhibition Hall at GenCon. Thanks guys!

Sorry to hear that man. I would definitely swing by the SWM area a few times throughout the weekend to see what people may offer you for it all. It's quite possible that you'd get a few takers if you are at least willing to part out some of it.

Plus, you almost always make more money by selling pieces individually. Might be worth it to just sell individual pieces as people are interested in them in the SWM gaming area, and then hit the dealer hall on Sunday with whatever you have left.

I'll see what's on your list and let you know if I'm interested in anything in particular.

I'm sure if I parted it out to players and on eBay, I could make more on it, but I really just want it all gone so I can do other things. I may stop by the SWM area to give players a chance, as you suggest, rather than seeing it go to a dealer that may not care about the game or it's players. Most of what I have, veteran players from this site won't need at all beyond spares for collections, but newer players would benefit from my collection, especially if they are Imp or Reb fans.

Sounds like a good idea, if I can get it to work right...

Well, everything went at GenCon. Players did end up getting the bulk of the collection, and I got around $500 for it all. Though I could have gotten more had I not sold the last half of it for $50 to a father and son that was wanting to get into the game at the tourney on Saturday afternoon, but I'm very happy to have helped a couple new players get into the game while I was leaving. And yes I did point them to this extremely helpful site to get them off to a good start in the game.

To those of you I've met from here, especially Dean, thanks for the tips and such a great resource to go along with the game. Take care folks!
