Specifically:board games.
And not even complete games, but the tossed-aside, falling-apart, missing-pieces games which most people pass up.
Probably not as good as youd like.
It always seems like an uphill battle to build (and keep) a decent amount in savings.
But what if your car breaks down, or you have a sudden medical bill?
Ask one of these companies to help…
Not me.
I saw them as potential moneymakers!
In fact,I ended up making $250 from these board games in just six months.
It happens to everyone at some point especially with those tiny little houses in Monopoly!

Sometimes it isnt a big deal.
Like cards from that special edition Uno or the dog (my fave!)
Since I knew there was a customer base, I saw an opportunity to make some extra money.
The concept is simple, but trying to determine which games are worth buying can get overwhelming.
Having a bunch of generic black and red plastic checker pieces doesnt do you much good.
But if you had vintage clay checker pieces, it might be a different story.
Speaking of old…Keep in mind: Vintage doesnt always mean valuable.
Sometimes it does, but never assume a games worth something just because its old.
Monopoly is a great example.
Yes, a few vintage Monopoly games are worth a fortune, but many more are barely worth anything.
On the flip side, almost every component ofcertainspecial edition Monopoly games can be considered valuable.
I took a quick glance inside and saw pieces and money scattered everywhere.
I made $4.50 per queen and $1.75 for a pawn.
The $3.99 investment definitely paid off.
I just check eBays app while Im shopping.
How to Sell Board Games
Keen to try it for yourself?
An easy way to start out is to go shopping in your own game closet.
Whos Buying?
Theres a wider customer base than you may think!
Where to Sell
Since I already had a highly ratedeBayaccount, I started there.
But there are other avenues for selling and even repurposing game pieces.EtsyandBonanzaalso are great options.
Ive seen mystery boxes of game pieces on Etsy for $12!
Even if the items arent in the best condition, be honest!
They could still sell Ive sold Clue score pads with missing pages.
Shipping
While some sellers include shipping into their purchase prices, I prefer to charge shipping separately.
You never know where someone will be buying from and what the true shipping cost will be.
If your individual pieces arent moving, bundle them.
Play with it and see what works.
Selling game pieces is relatively low risk, since prices are so low.
Its an easy and funway to make some extra cash!
