Not sure when the first time was. I do recall though a great 2nd ed purge around 1997 or 1998. I had a ton of books and I wanted to get things down to the bare essentials. This also corresponds to the time I was getting out of D&D.
I remember selling some items at the local Game Plus Auction, but I also sold a more significant amount on Ebay.
This was right before the Dragon magazine archive went for sale so I unloaded my old Dragons for a decent price. I sold all my 2e splat books. My best sell was a near mint Complete Book of Necromancers. I had bought it for $15.00 and it was then being sold at $18.00 I made $83.00 on it.
I almost always regret selling my games and have often bought them back. I have owned over the years 3 different copies of Chill and Quest of the Ancients, two copies each of BESM, Vampire, Mage and various Star Trek games. There are more. Interestingly enough I recently picked up a copy of the Complete Book of Necromancers at Half-Price books for $9.00. That is the same price as the PDF.
