Vintage Axis & Allies

Bought: $7.50 Sold: $29.99 Fees: $3.57 Profit: $18.92

This was one of the 16 board games I bought as a lot off the guy on Kijiji. This was not one of the games I wanted from it, but I figured there was no harm in listing them all on eBay. This was one of the games that I thought wouldn't sell quickly, mainly because Axis & Allies is a very popular and common game - sort of like Risk or Monopoly - and so I figured that one in this bad condition wouldn't sell. Apparently, though, this version, from the early '80's, is desirable, and so I undercut the going rate by about $10 to account for the massive amount of damage to the box, and it sold in less than a week. Granted, the game was complete, and so for someone who doesn't care about how the box looks this would have been a good buy. This is the 2nd board game from the lot to sell, and I am well on my way to making back my entire investment.

Money made off the lot as a whole so far: Spent: $120 - Sales: $72.99
