It's amazing what nearly a thousand dollars of books can get you…

Atlantis Games in Va. Beach, Va.

A few days ago, I decided enough was enough: I’ve got a ton of old RPG books I’m never using, a few multiple copies from my days of working at a game store and forgetting that I already owned a copy of one game when I bought the duplicate, and a few graphic novels I’ll never pick up again (Ann Rice’s Vampire Lestat the comic? No thanks).

I took them down to Atlantis Games and Comics, where they accept used books for in-store credit. They’ve already got a pretty large used section (including the core 2e books, which I’m tempted to buy) and I think I may have doubled it.

I would estimate the books to come out to nearly a thousand dollars, since they gave me roughly 10-25% of each book’s worth. I walked away with around $160 bucks in in-store credit. Not too bad, for some books I’ll never use ever again.

In the end, with said credit, I picked up Monster Manual 2, the Eberron Player’s Guide, Eberron Campaign Guide, and I ordered Divine Power and A Song of Ice and Fire RPG (neither of which they had in stock).

So, though I got nowhere near the amount I paid for them (and how could you expect to), I think I made out pretty well with my purchases. I’ll let you all know how SoIaF is once I get it.
