Torpedo Run Replacement Parts
Sold: $19.99 Fees: $3.55 Profit: $16.44
I purchased a lot of board games at auction a few months ago, and it included Torpedo Run, which is a game that sells quite well. Unfortunately it was incomplete, and the game box is very large, so instead of trying to sell it incomplete, I just sold a lot of the parts I had without the box. No where near the price I would have obtained had it been complete, but at least it wasn't a complete loss.
