Bought: $15.00 Sold: $27.95 Fees: $3.94 Profit: $9.01
This is one of the four Avalon Hill bookcase games I bought off someone on Kijiji for $15 each. This one, Speed Circuit, is a driving themed game. This was the game that I expected to bring in the least amount of profit, but I predicated that I would be able to sell all four and make money on each. This is the first to sell, so it is still to be told if I will make money overall on the purchase, but so far so good.
Like I mentioned in an early post very few of the Avalon Hill bookcase games are sought after now - it is the 3M bookcase games that are much more desired. That being said, this one is one of the Avalon Hill ones that has some interest among collectors. One of the things to note about this game, besides looking to see if it has the score pad, is to ensure that all the 6 cars are there. The cars are made of metal, painted different colours, and very small. One of the smallest game pieces I've ever seen. As such they were often lost. While it is not detrimental to game play - they can be substituted with pretty much anything - it does drastically effect their value.
