Is it worth trying to sell hand-crafted A+ outlines?

Title. I've CALI'd (booked) four classes and guess I must have spent at least a hundred hours each on the outlines for those classes. Are they worth anything to anyone? How could I go about selling them, and how much -- should I post a list on a school bulletin board?

Agreed, just share them. In the end, it's probably not the outline that got you the A+, it's the 100+ hours you spent making it.

Part of the spirit of law school, and the practice in general, is helping out those who come after you. Whether it be senior lawyers mentoring younger lawyers, or 2L/3L students helping out the entering 1L class, you should be willing to offer your assistance to them without forcing them to pay for it. Don't be petty about it, and just make them freely available to the new students.

O.k., I guess I'll just spread the love. I know a few 1L's who I think they can help.
(There's still the ever-present danger that I let the "N" bomb slip into one of the outlines, though.

There are no A+ outlines, only A+ exam performances. I booked 2/3 doctrinal courses last semester and spent almost no time outlining one, and didn't outline the other one at all. Practice exams are much more important.

If they're not A+ outlines, then why do they have "A+" written on them in red ink?
Checkmate.

100 hours? Holy shit, it'd be a christmas miracle if I spend that much time on a class all quarter - including sitting in class.
Since you clearly have no social skills (trying to be an asshat by selling your outlines), you might want to look into settling for an A and finding a friend (or two)
