I love board games. I've sold hundreds of used ones on Amazon and it's the only product where I have never had a return. It's a pretty good little niche where people want to play the obscure games they can't find anymore and don't want to pay the super crazy high price sealed. My best ever find was a 99 cent game about traveling through europe or something. Small box. Thing sold for 80 dollars used! Don't sleep on them board games I tell ya.
