Hi folks, I need money! And since I'm living in China 10 months of the year and most of my friends can't speak english, my board gaming options are...well...nil. Soooooooooo I'm selling everything. If none of you guys are interested I'll put them on eBay in a week or 2. Go over to boardgamegeek to see my collection: boardgamegeek.com/user/MontyCircusMost of the games have been played once or twice. Some have never been played. Some have never been opened. A few have some box damage, mostly minor. Pretty sure everything is complete (except for something like the old Axis & Allies). I'm pretty anal about keeping my games nice. Though some games have crossed the Pacific twice so, some boxes have dents and "flaps". But not all. I'm selling everything EXCEPT for: Apples to Apples Chess Pictionary Quiddler Scrabble Scattergories Xiangqi Yinsh ...and I'm not sure if Pass the Pigs is here or in China Anyway, if you're interested, you can post here, but if you also send me an e-mail, to montycircus@yahoo.com with something like "boardgames" in the subject line, that would be best! Tell me what games you're interested in, I'll give you a detailed description of each game's condition and quote you a "priced to move" price. Then I'll give you my phone number and we'll see what we can do. (I'd deliver them to your door but my license just expired so I've got to see about that). (Oh, and the RoboRally figs and Fury of Dracula figs are PAINTED!!! So if you hate doing that crap as much as me then well...there you go!) Thanks! Kevin Hookey (MontyCircus)

How soon are you looking to get rid of these?
I'd be interested in a bunch but due to the time of year Money is tighter then usual, especially with the Chrysler long shutdown.
Here's a list of what I may be interested in, you have my email as well if you would rather go that way:
Babel Balloon Cup Battle Line Blue Moon Caesar and Cleopatra Clans Coloretto Hera and Zeus Jambo

Good to hear from you, Monty. Hope things are well with you.
I may be interested in some as well:
--Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation --Roborally --Fury of Dracula --Settlers of Catan --Power Grid --Battle Line
I don't live in Windsor any more, though, so I'm not sure if we can arrange delivery to Toronto or not. Give me an estimate and we'll work something out!
Cheers, WES ghost at mnsi dot net

Err, I guess Moe asked for Battle Line first (sorry, didn't notice until I submitted my post).

I'll probably be going back in early February so I'd like to get everything done pretty soon. Middle of January I'll probably put whatever isn't sold yet on eBay. So If you want to wait until Spring time then you're out of luck!
Okay I'll check the stuff you and Wes are interested in and figure out the prices. They'll be pretty damn good prices. Lower than you'll be able to find on the cheapest American websites (or matching them if they're unplayed or sealed). And anything damaged I'll take off a %'age depending on the extent.
Hey Wes! Long time no see eh? Toronto, no problem, just pay for whatever shipping ends up being (maybe $15-20 I'm guessing). And the damn boxes and so on. I'll see what I can do.
Stay tuned!

Moe here's the rundown:
Babel (Sealed) $20 Balloon Cup (Sealed) $20 Battle Line (Like New...but missing one damn little red wooden dowel marker...) $12 Blue Moon (Like New) $20 Caesar & Cleopatra (Like New) $20 Clans (Sealed) $20 Coloretto (Like New but card box isn't looking so hot) $8 Hera & Zeus (Sealed) $20 Jambo (sealed) $20
So 5 of the 9 are sealed, 3 are like new, and 1 is technically "not complete", so I knocked $5 off it...because it's missing a 5 cent wooden dowel...
Price for the whole lot shipped from germangames.com (the best Canadian e-tailer in my opinion): $213.83
Price for the whole lot from me: $160
Savings: $53.83 or over 25%...and that's off e-tailer prices, not retail store prices!!!

Alright Wes...first off, I don't have Power Grid, I rated it (from that one play way back when), but never owned it.
My offerings:
Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation - Deluxe Edition (box is scuffed up a bit) $25 Robo Rally...it's out of print and I can't currently get into my eBay account so I don't know what the market rate on this is. Fury of Dracula (Like New) $50 Settlers of Catan (box is a bit crushed) $25
So 2 of have box damage and 1 is like new.
Price for the 3, shipped from germangames.com (the best Canadian e-tailer in my opinion) $146.91
Price for the 3, from me: $100
Savings: $46.91 or over 30%...and that's off e-tailer prices, not retail store prices!!!

Oh and Mo, I owe you some cash from back when he had pizza during a Twilight Imperium game...a little over 2 years ago. I had no pocket money at the time. So however much my share was ($5 maybe? I don't remember) I'll take it off of your purchase!

Is your Roborally the old edition or the new one? There were some bonus maps at some point too, IIRC -- are those included? I'm pretty sure the new edition is available in stores so you are probably referring to the old one as being out of print... can you remind me what the differences are between the two?
Come to think of it, Fury of Dracula had several editions too -- which one is it?
The germangames.com price included shipping so I am assuming yours does as well?

Both Robo Rally and Fury of Dracula are the new editions.
Robo Rally is indeed out of print. That whole new Avalon Hill line was discontinued. I don't have any of the old boards, though they are compatible if you want to try and get your hands on them (bit pricey though). Main differences are nice plastic flags, the board is apparently less thick and sturdy than before, and there is a new starting board with rules to get rid of the virtual bot system.
I still can't get into my damn ebay...son of a bitch...
Fury of Dracula, the version I have is the one you played with me and Mo. The old version was more than a bit different, didn't have combat, etc.
If you buy those 4 you listed together I'll give you free shipping no problem. Merry Christmas ;D

Just got into my eBay account, and after rooting around for a while I'll offer:
Robo Rally (Box a bit dented from having other games on top) $40
Like I said it's out of print, so it's a fair price for a game I think was played on about 3 occasions.

That's higher then I expected. I will let you know after xmas when I can figure out how much money I do and do not have. If you get any other offers before then feel free to sell. There's nothing here I have my heart set on, just a bunch of games I've never played that the collector in me wants to add to my collection. So if Wes wants Battleline that's fine with me.

To be honest, having looked over the game's profile at BGG, I don't think Battle Line would be my cup of tea... a bit too abstract for my tastes.

Alright Wes, those 4 should ship out Monday then I guess,
Happy Christmas everyone!

Now that most of the dust has settled and I can look at my finances a bit more critically I can see that there is no way I can get all I want. I can spare a weeks worth of gaming money but that's about it.
So how about: Babel, Clans and Jambo for $60?

Just saw your message Mo. I sent you an e-mail, give me a call whenever you're free and I'll drive them over to you.
Hope you can find someone to enjoy those games with Wes!
