I'm an old-time TSR guy who has a bunch of Dragon Magazines that I've had around for a long, long time. My wife and I are looking to downsize and I recently decided to sell even my Dragon Magazines. I have a full collection from Strategic Review #1 (the Dragon before it became the Dragon) and Dragon #1 up thru 100 or so. Lots of duplicates throughout and lots of scattered issues up to around 200...again many, many duplicates of some.

I have someone who is probably interested, but to be fair to both him and me, I wanted the opinion of all the experts...you...about their value. I'm interested in selling the SR1 thru Dragon 100 as a set, but the rest can be broke up in any way.

Any suggestions to worth assuming the quality is say, Very Good (maybe 7 out of 10 on average -- some better, some worse). Any other recommendations?

I really appreciate your input.
Thanx,
Dave

PS: I've also got a few old Dungeons and a bunch of old Polyhedron Magazines if anyone whats to throw their two cents worth in on those as well (same condition).

Check out this site, they have a list of estimated values for Dragon magazine issues.

They also have a forum where you can ask how much your set might fetch at auction.

Unfortunately You will never know the true value until you actually sell them.

Look on ebay and watch the final prices of auctions. Myself I tend to bid on Large collections not individual items.

Unfortunately I don't need copies that I already own so I would say they are worth Nothing.

You might get Insurance and hope they get destroyed in a Tragic Accident:D :D

Seriously their only worth what someone is willing to offer and your willing to except.
