Bought: $6.77 Sold: $10.61 Fees: $2.38 Profit: $1.46
This is a vintage board game from 1967 - Rat Race - that I had never heard of. I know that board games are something that people collect, and older ones are often sought after. I checked this one in the store and it appeared to have all the pieces, and this version is the first version from 1967. In hindsight, I'm not actually sure why I bought it seeing how little profit I made on it. At least I didn't lose money, but just barely. Even if old board games make money, I am going to stick to really obscure ones, or modern ones that I know I can flip easily. Board games have two main issues: 1) they are big and awkward to ship, and 2) it is so easy to lose pieces. Lesson learned: some board games are worth it, but old doesn't necessarily mean profit.
