Gulf Strike, Version 3

[BanzaiCat]

If you're on eBay, Grim, you might consider picking stuff like that up and re-selling it, unless it's too much of a hassle.

I get depressed reading the 'Thrift Store Finds' threads on BGG so I stopped doing it a long time ago. :)

The last cons I went to were 2004-2006 or so. I remember clearly getting an unpunched copy of Carrier and Tokyo Express, each for around twenty bucks. To this day they're STILL unpunched and on my shelf...lol.

Actually, strike that. I'm looking at Tokyo Express right now; it has a 30.00 price tag on it but I remember they were doing a half-off sale when I got that one, so $15.

I more purchased this based on my past interests in it, not likely going to make this a major hobby or for making money, just don't have the time, space, and friends who play.  However, happened to be at another location of the store this morning and they had Fortress Europa sitting on the shelf...got it for $8 and again totally intact with counters not punched. 

This ends my purchasing of board games:)  Back to the computer!

Now those are steals.

Wow! You lucky son-of-a-bitch!!

I've had zero luck at Half-Price Books, though I've heard of plenty of people striking gold, there.

Yep, that is where I got these

You really should give those a try - Carrier is pure solo-wargaming bliss filled with tension and excitement.

I've picked up Up Front, Pacific Theater of Operations, Gladiator and Blood Bowl 3rd ed at HPB.  None were great "steals" though as I think the guys that work at the ones here are keen to checking the price history on BGG but they were reasonably priced and without shipping (but taxes). 


I buy the bulk of my used games from CSW Marketplace and have for years now.  You can get some good deals there.

Unpunched, he could sell it for a tidy profit.

I've gotten rid of more than a few wargames last year via eBay...most of them were unpunched and relatively rare. One of them was my Ambush! set, including a few of the modules, as well as the Pacific version of Ambush! also. The entire thing had a LOT of miles on it and it wasn't complete, but someone still bought it for a pretty tidy sum.

Anyway, the ones I have on hand still are ones I'd still like to keep, and those two are definitely on my keep list, especially as they're solitaire games. I just need a week or more off from work and family duties to try a few of these.
