Any local charitable or semi-charitable causes you could donate them to? Does your nearest highschool have a gaming club? Is there a games club or FLGS nearby you could take them to?

<snip>

"Does your nearest highschool have a gaming club? Is there a games club or FLGS nearby you could take them to?" - tried those routes but if it isn't "popular" there is no interest.

Wrong color kool-aid I guess.

And about HOW much postage are we talking about here to get that lot shipped to Europe? Been years since I last imported something bigger or heavier than a couple of CDs from overseas.

Come on, let us help you get rid of that stuff!  :)

Or put in a link to the ebay list.

Our school club might be happy to take old rules.
I have no problem with paying postage from overseas, but don't care for import duties on purchases.
If there is something heavy you want from Europe we could always trade.

Can't link to Evilbay because I am not a supporting member (is that the term, I forget) but what doesn't sell on Evil Bay in the three weeks I will try and list here before chucking them in the trash.

Recycling is for RUBBISH Sir!!  :o

They didn't before (some offered multiple times) but if they sell now I am glad.  If not... that pretty much defines rubbish for me at this point in my life.  Instead of 'publish or perish' it is 'sell or burn'...   ;)

I loved playing Twilight 2000 1st ed. I stopped playing RPGs by my first year of university in 89, when alcohol and ladies became waaaay more important.  lol
