Help me make some changes by buying all my games!

Dear FATties,

I find myself needing to make some pretty radical lifestyle changes, and the first and biggest obstacle is my massive accumulation of board games. I have neither the time, drive, nor energy to set aside time for gaming, and the local scene has really turned me off from the board gaming world. I'm keeping a few favorites, but for the most part this is everything I own. I'm a graduate student with a relatively low income so I prefer to not haggle prices.

I've never done a big sell-off like this, so I apologize if it's a little awkward. I'm not sure the usual procedure for shipping costs, so any advice for shipping is greatly appreciated. I have some boxes saved from my last move, but if anyone has any suggestions for acquiring more shipping boxes I'd appreciate the help. Everything ships from California.

This is what I have available and what I'm asking:

Descent: Journeys in the Dark, Well of Darkness, Altar of Despair, Road to Legend, Tobin Farslayer (promo character), Truthseer Kell (promo character, painted), Jonas the Kind (promo character) and an extra set of dice. The most common monsters have been carefully painted, some have been primed. Some characters are painted, others have been primed. Base game is without its box, so components come in expansion boxes with an extra container for the miniatures. Asking price is $200 for the lot. I won't split it up.

Acquire $15 (AH, newest edition)

Allegiance: War of Factions (1 booster box and 1 starter box) free with purchase of other game

Alpha Omega (Battleline) $10

Android $25 (FFG)

Gringo + Battles with Gringos (GMT) $35

Battlestations, Galactic Civil War, Pax Galacticum, Pirates of Trundlia, Deep Ones in Deep Space, Bot Wars, and many home made counters and pieces. Asking price is $100 for the lot. I won't split it up. Great game, but can't seem to get it played.

Blood Bowl (GW) $50 (some orcs painted, most primed)

Call of Cthulhu the Card Game (FFG) $30

Civilization (AH) $35 *Spoken for*

Devil's Horsemen + Mamluk expansion (GMT) $25

Don't know about out there in California but around here the recycle center keeps a spot by the cardboard bin for people to drop off usable boxes.

I have some interest in the Sky Gallions from Mars. What type of condition are we looking at?
Complete? Models assembled? Any broken?

A little box wear, but otherwise it's in good shape. Models are assembled but not painted.

Hey Count,

Put me down for the Federation Commander stuff and Grand Illusion. I will send you a pm.

Hey, is that the Francis Tresham Civ?

If so, put me down for that and Ogre/GEV

Yes, it is the Tresham civilization first edition (with the Egyptian cover). It's definitely a player's copy, so the box and counters are a little worn, but otherwise in good shape.

Works for me, I will message you my address so you can figure out shipping

Medium Priority Mail boxes are free from the Post Office, and usually one of the cheapest options for shipping single normal-size games anyway. The large ones work well for shipping a couple of games, and are also free.

Some great stuff in here, but most of what I want I already have. Somebody help this man out! (while I try to see if I've left some money laying around here). A lot of great GMT stuff.

Dude, as Descent 1st edition is going out of print, I think you could get away with asking for higher prices on that stuff.

I'm in for 3 days of Gettysburg if it's the latest edition [not the blue box; latest edition looks like the Red Badge box].

I will pick up blood bowl and fury of dracula. PM if they are still for sale.

Just an update to everyone. I managed to get sick yesterday and am about to go home for the day. I'll be ready to ship things out tomorrow, but just don't have the energy today.

Thanks for the patience!

Suck it up, Jellyfish. Daddy needs his Star Trek games!

J/k of course.

FYI, I am gone to FallCon from Friday until Monday so I will not pay you until I get back as I will be AFK
