HaukeaCanada Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 So after doing some serious purging and cleaning, I find myself with 948 (that's CMXLVIII) dice! This amounts to an even 9 pounds (4.081kg). Even after keeping what I need, and a fair amount of what I want, I'm still left with an obscene amount of dice. The question becomes how should I sell them? A lot of the ones I'm parting with could be sold as sets (ie 7x polyhedrals, 10x d10, 12x d6; combinations of 'pure' color sets and mixed; blanks, specialty). Or I could sell them by weight (1/2 & full pounds?) Looking for some advice as how to best go about this. Cheers **Not actively trying to advertise here; just looking for advice **For the really interested, it breaks down to 25d4, 698d6, 38d8, 81d10, 32d00, 35d12, 39d20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 First reaction: Only 948? Second Reaction: If they're in great shape (not showing wear), maybe at a game convention if they have flea market style setups. I'd price them at 1/4 to 1/2 cost of new ones. Some game stores might be able to do consignment, but unsure. I treat my dice like a dragon even though I rarely game now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaukeaCanada Posted July 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Yeah, I know, kinda low. I think over time I've given away 15-odd lbs to community organizations, friends, etc; sacrificed many to see what they were made of**; lost some to cat, nieces, moves, etc. I'm still keeping about half, and I've spent the better part of a week slowly whittling them down (my first pass I was going to part with 10). Not really anywhere to sell them where I live (only one FLGS in large area and they kinda, really, abhorrently don't like anyone remotely trying to even come close to treading on their monopoly; even the farmer's markets steer clear of "their" stuff). Was thinking of advertising on those local sale sites, and then if I get desperate try something like eBay or Amazon. **NOTE: Using a bandsaw to slice into dice is a great way to risk losing fingers. Chisels don't work, and even in a vice a regular hacksaw wasn't too effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ternaugh Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 I've never actually sold any of the dice I've collected myself*, but you might be able to get a quote from Noble Knight Games ( Nobleknight.com ). I've sold some older books for credit in the past, and the deal was very fair. *I tend to buy my dice storage containers at Home Depot, and I've lost track of just how many sets I have. For carrying to games, I tend to use a couple of storage boxes that I got in a Kickstarter a few years ago (a thick piece of felt covers each to prevent the dice from shifting during transport): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vondy Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 It is not proper to sell one's dice. Ternaugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
