Your bargain finds!

[Yewone]

There is an MB Defender game too.

[smac]

One of the three I have, but thanks.

you know, I even read your post a couple of times as well! I blame it on an early start!

Chanced upon Cargo Noir for £3 yesterday. Didn't seem to enjoy much chatter and the theme looks pretty disconnected to the game. But at that price it wasn't hard to pick it up.

[Jamin]

My mum won a 2nd hand board game in her church's Christmas Raffle - a minty mint copy of Telestrations. We've had a quality time over chrimbo playing it with respective family and friends, and with each group on different nights this game was the biggest hit each time.

The opposite of bargain finds

Who wants these ã10 each inc. P&p

I might. Be way over the odds here is there a thread for selling?

Eg.

[Nathan Wind]

You're massively undervaluing Space Crusade and Hero Quest at a tenner, especially if they're complete and in good condition. Don't know about the others. I've been after SC for a while though so I'd love to take it off you as long as it is complete.

[SeanR]

SC should be complete and includes mission dreadnaught...

Anyone in at £30 then?

Heroquest has broken swords(?) £15?

Would love to give Heroquest a go with my kids so would gladly take it off your hands. Tempted by Space Crusade too if Nathan thinks better of it :-)

[Nathan Wind]

Look, to be honest, if you put SC on ebay complete in good nick and with Dreadnaught, you'd quite possibly net yourself the better part of a hundred quid - a recent similar one sold for £72 plus £7 postage, as an example. I'd never pay that for it, but I would most certainly give you £30 for it if you're happy with that, but that's way beyond mate's (fellow forumizer) rates. It's worth what people will pay for it. Although a slight ball-ache, ebay would be well worth your time in this case. If you put it on with a BiN of £75 it'd be gone in a day or two.

Edit - but yeah, if you just want it to go to a good home and you're not fussed on cash, I'll definitely take it for that.

As PM'd, what Nathan said. Happy to take HQ off your hands, but head over to ebay to make some cash :-)

[shynra]

PMre lost valley of Dino's!

I had space crusade + Dreadnought + Eldar missions @_@; but they where all enlisted into my 40k army and Space crusade just got disbanded! @_@;

Yep, me too. I had SC, Advanced SC and all the expansions as a youngster but I suspect they found their way to a cherridy shop once I left home for uni in '97. The ebay examples above are for pretty much mint ones, but even if you can verify it as 90% complete you'll get £50 or more for it. Damn shame my momma didn't keep hold of it all. That would have made my current (early, I hope) mid-life crisis much easier and cheaper.

[SeanR]

Thanks everyone. We're going to stick the lot, bundled, on eBay, with a stupid high BIN price, to get top dollar, apologies to anyone who's shown an interest thus far.

If it doesn't sell I'll be back, cap in hand...

[Professor Rob]

Got For $ale and Guillotine for £2.99 each.

There were a number of other decent games (this was in the St. Gemma's Hospice shop in Yeadon, Leeds), but prices were on the high side:

Power Grid: £29.95

Ticket To Ride Europe: £29.95

Perplexcity: £29.95

Munchkin Quest: £29.95

RoboRally: £29.95

There was also Bohnanza for £9.95.

How did you get on?

[Yewone]

Also posted in Carboot thread but thought I'd share here... Found these 90's Roleplaying games for a couple of quid each this morning.

Couple of them are unplayed. The Shadowrun one looks great but no doubt far too complicated (and fiddly) for me to ever play.

[RFT]

Picked up Memoir '44 from a comic chop in Banbury a couple of weeks ago. it had been opened, but was unpunched. 15 quid. could not believe my luck.

[Professor Rob]

Got Ricochet Robots (Rio Grande version) for £5.99.

[michael]

That's a bargain, well worth six quid of anyone's money. Where from?

[Professor Rob]

St. Gemma's Hospice Shop near where I work.

I bought Battle of the Halji with Christmas money when I was ten after seeing it advertised in White Dwarf (1987!) but had to take it back because it was too complicated for me.

[Skeeez]

Just grabbed Love Letter for £6 via Flubbit on Amazon. Seems like a decent price, hope the family enjoy it.

[smac]

Copy of the 70s version of Spy Ring for 1.50. Complete, so for that price, worth a punt to add to the collection.

[michael]

1988 version of Empire Builder from Mayfair, complete and in great nick, for £5. Never played a crayon rails game before, can't wait to give it a shot!

[Guest]

Weren't you moving to the states and downsizing?

[michael]

Yeah... I got rid of half of my collection. About 14 boxes of games. I can't turn down a bargain though!

[smac]

Oooh, I forgot - a copy of Escape from Atlantis (Waddington's edition) for 3 quid from a charity shop. Box is not in good nick, but complete.

[Alexlotl]

Picked up a minty, recent copy of Enchanted Forest for £1 from my local charity shop. Not much here to interest the adults (although it won the SdJ in 1982!), but a great one for my three year-old, who is getting very interested in dice and roll and move mechanics. Lovely Ravensburger production quality.
