Avalon Hill's Naval War

Bought: $7.50 Sold: $43.00 Fees: $4.75 Profit: $30.75

Someone was selling a series of lots of vintage board games on Kijiji for $40 each. Each lot had 1 or 2 games that I knew would resell well, and a couple games that were not as interesting. He was only interested in selling them as the predetermined lots, so I bought three of the lots for $120 and got 16 board games - which works out to $7.50 each. I finally got around to listing them all, and this was the first to sell. This is an Avalon Hill game, which as you know tend to sell well. The box is in very rough shape - a lot of the game boxes were - but the guy I bought them off of was a collector and a player, so he was clearly more concerned with playing the game then storing them properly. That being said, still got a good return on my investment and made back the cost of one of the three lots with this first sale.

Money made off the lot as a whole so far: Spent: $120 - Sales: $43.00
