TOPIC: Tokens worth 3882 in GP: What to do?

Hello,

I am new to True Dungeon, though my friends have been playing for a long time. I am organizing their tokens. I have 3882 GP in miscellaneous tokens. Any thoughts on the best ways to use these?

Thanks!

I think you are saying that you have gold piece tokens that add up to 3882. If that is the case then Gold is very trade-able. It also sells for cash at a rate from 0.020 to 0.025 cents per gold piece.

4,000 gold pieces goes for between $80 and $100 and sometimes more depending on the market.

Want you really want to look for are any Purple Writing tokens. Those would be Ultra Rare tokens and could be worth quite a bit. Some of the Rare (red lettering) tokens can also be worth a pretty penny. A Potion Death's Door can fetch $10-20 at the moment (I think). Some of the Ioun Stones are also worth a good bit.

Gold is needed for transmuting almost anything also.

The main use for tokens that have a gp value is to pay the cost for transmuting tokens. If your friends aren't into that sort of thing, they might be better off selling it. There are always people on the forums looking for gold.

Not sure what you're asking. Do the tokens have GP values on them adding to that number?
GP are used for transmuting, so people will trade for or buy gold. If you're new, you won't want to transmuting much. That's more for folks who have piles of spare tokens.

Or are you putting a GP value on them from websites?

Sounds like some of them are wooden tokens, since the plastic ones come in multiples of 5 GP.

But if you're just starting, I'd suggest taking the GP to Gencon with you to trade for other, more usable tokens. It's against the rules for private people to sell tokens on-site for cash; people have been ejected from Gencon and their badges confiscated for it. But we can use GP as a form of currency without problems. The current exchange rate is about 40GP = $1US. My website has the option of seeing prices in $ or GP, but I think I have the exchange rate set a little lower since I have extra gold, and other people here will trade for GP, too, at different rates.

If you do have old wooden tokens you should swing by the trade forum. There are a few people looking for odd bits and nova from the old sets so the right token may be worth more then its printed go value. As to what to do with the go, it depends on your current gear. Near 4k can buy a lot of really nice reds or maybe even a purple.

I would suggest that you look through the forum posts in the tokens, trades and sales thread that are from some of the bigger sellers on here. Some of them have their selling values on the tokens in Cash $$$ AND in GP trade value. If you are looking at outfitting a group, 3882 GP can get you quite a few Rare and Uncommon Tokens. If you are outfitting just one person, you might be able to get a low level Ultra-rare Purple token and a few other rare/uncommons.

The Phoenix's Tear Trade Shop is a good one to check out.

Is Another's Treasure Shop also has his Case price and the exchange rate he buys GP so you can get a GP value on his tokens.

Mike's Token Shop is another with both cash and GP values.

(The shop names are links to those pages.)

Hope this helps...

Consensus is - trade your GP for other stuff.

But trade it for what? That's a thread in itself.

Do you play with a big group? Then pick your class. Not sure what you like to play? Get tokens usable by many. Already have some? Think about a UR - maybe. Did your friends give you the tokens to spend as you like, or are you trying to outfit a number of people? (Yes, I know, "one" is a number, and the loneliest, as the song says). I meant more than one...

So, what you should do depends on a lot of details that only you know. And you'll hear lots of opinions, so it's basically up to you. But we love to give opinions, so you're in luck.

Thanks so much all! I have a much better grasp on the situation now

One more question (and maybe this should be its own thread): what do I do with all the tokens we wind up not really wanting, ones that might be kind of junk? Can I recycle them back somehow, or is there something useful to be done with them.

You all rock!

If you have enough of the 'junk' or stuff you don't need or want then you can turn them into trade tokens.

what you think may be junk, could be valuable...if you want make a list and post it

years etc,

if not. Bring all the tokens you are trading in(gold if trading in gold too) to gencon.
I will find a time and meet with you. I will look through everything and tell you(ask, I am honest about this stuff)
If you dont have any "good stuff" I will do the trade in for you(you cant do those at gencon).

It is an option if you want to take that, that way you dont do something you would regret.

you wont have to trade with me, if you dont want either. I will go through them all and tell you what you have either way

If you want a second or 3rd person there, just ask and we can all find a time.

I have just seen too many people trade in things, they shouldnt

If there were such a thing as a BBB of True Dungeon, Lazlo would get high ratings.

When it comes to tokens, there is no "trash." Because of the trade program, every token has some value, even if no one ever would play with it. (No one wants to use a common weapon if they can help it, but even though they're very plentiful they're worth about 10 cents each because you can turn them into Dwarven Steel - not because anyone wants to buy one to use. Unlike, say, most MTG commons that people have a hard time giving away.)

And some collectors, like me, want to build sets of tokens so they'll want stuff no one would ever really use just to fill in the gaps in their collection. I think I paid $1 for the last common weapon I needed (a 2008 Sling, I think) for just that reason. Couldn't find it, had to have it or that gaping token-sized hole in my collection would have tormented me forever...

But there are treasures out there. Some tokens are worth over $1000. I can pretty much guarantee that if you had any of those, you'd know it. But there are some sneaky tokens worth more than you'd think. Most green-ink tokens go for about a buck - except Alchemist Pouch that brings almost a hundred. Most reds are about $4-5 - except weapons are half that, and Necklace of the Oak about 8 to 10 times more. Ultra rares average about $100, but some go as low as $30 (Sapphire Necklace) or as high as $500 (Horn of Plenty) but prices fluctuate wildly. (HoP is down this year because - long story - but will probably go up again in a year or two)

Point is, if you don't want to scour the internet looking for prices, having your collection looked over by someone like Lazlo (or a dozen others here I could name) isn't a bad idea.

And if you can make it to GenCon the Wednesday before, there's always a token party where you can swap with folks. Everyone I've met at these things seems very honest, but the rules are the same as anywhere else - if someone wants to pull you off to a corner to trade in secrecy, be careful. They may just value their privacy, but they may be trying to take advantage in one way or another. If they're making a fair offer, they shouldn't be afraid to let other people see what's going on.

If you want to post a list here, as Lazlo suggested, you could look at the Token Yearbook (link in the Tokens section) and focus on the Rares, Completion/Trophy and Ultra Rares, if any, if you have too many to post.
