If a person is paying a lot for a game they are looking for a game in good condition. The condition of the contents is important as well. Just having all of the pieces is not enough for some collectors though. If you find a rare game that has a lot of the pieces but not all of them you can make quite a bit of money selling the pieces off individually to people that are just missing a couple pieces from their copy of the game. For example I have sold individual parts for the game Fireball Island on eBay for $20 each. Game pieces for rare games can also sell for a lot of money especially if it is a game that is regularly missing pieces. Some collectors will buy incomplete games hoping to get the missing parts from other people. Missing even one piece, even a minor one, drops the value of most games by a significant amount but the games still have some value. A game that is missing non important pieces like dice or playing pieces are less likely to be affected as games that are missing key components. You wouldn’t want to play a board game that is missing pieces and collectors don’t want a board game that is missing pieces. The most important thing is that the game has all of the pieces. Condition is still key even if the game is opened. It is really hard to find rare games in an unopened condition. Sealed games are also more likely to have boxes in good to great condition which is really important to some collectors. It can be a hassle to find the missing parts for a game and collectors will pay a premium for not having to find the pieces that a game is missing. A game that has never been played before is guaranteed to have all of the components which is key for a lot of rare games since it is hard to find parts for these games. While I don’t really care if a game is new or not, many collectors like unopened games for a couple reasons. Unopened/unplayed games generally sell for a premium. A rare game in good condition can sell for multiple times more than the same game that is in poor condition. Condition is not going to make a worthless game valuable but it is big in determining the value of a rare game. Like with every other collectible, condition is very important for a board game’s value. These are only tips as there are games that will defy these tips. I don’t profess to be an expert on the topic but these guidelines should help you with what to look for in valuable board games. I have learned quite a bit about board game values from my years collecting them and this post is going to outline what I have learned. Many I have kept for myself but I have also sold off hundreds of games that either weren’t for me or the value was too enticing not to sell them to get some money to purchase other games.
