For those who don't frequent RGP, I did finally spill the beans as to what we paid for these games and what we made off them. Here's my post from RGP.

Well, we finally sold the last game and for anyone interested, I
thought I'd spill the beans, so to speak.

This is a list of the games we paid $19,000 for. Four were pretty
much parts games, six were said to have various board issues and
twelve were said to be in good working condition. Needless to say,
there wasn't a one that didn't have some kind of issue.

MM
LOTR
2-DM
HRC
Elvira
BOP
Starship Troopers
Pool Sharks
Getaway
Nascar
Dr. Who
Monopoly
South Park
DE Simpsons
NBAFB
Leathal Weapon
Dr. Dude
RFM
Big Guns
Bone Busters
Whirlwind

Total sale price on all games came to $33,400. Our expenses were
about $2000 which included rental truck, fuel, hotel, meals and
various game parts. Total profit came to $12,4000.

And before you say, "Holy Shit, I'd do that!", you don't even want to
know how many hours were spent cleaning and fixing games.

Having said that, Brian and I would do it again in a heartbeat. It
was certainly a roadtrip to remember.

BTW HUGE thanks to our buddy Jesse who provided the warehouse space.
We coudn't have done it without him. Now that I think about it, we
could have rented a space for less than what the beer cost us at
Jesse's.

honda350r said:Nope ! Bryan seen a machine that one of his buddies bought and it had a OP tag with a phone #. They called and scored !
Could happen to any of us .
You obviously know more than your letting on why don't you fill us all in on the specifics ?

Oh, you know me, Jim. What the hell. The games are all gone and what do I care if people know what the financial end of things were. I'd be curious as hell if someone else had done what we did.

That's really hard to say. Hell, there were at least 60 man hours involved in us just driving there, picking the games up and bringing them back home. We honestly didn't care about the hours. Most everything was done in the evening, weekends or days off. Thankfully we did this in the winter. If this had been done in the summer, I'm not sure I could have put the time in with the nice weather.

Quoted from dung:

I would be more interested to know how many man hours ended up being invested. It was a very cool read and props to you for being so open about it.

Sadly, some else had cherry picked the op for most of his A list games, although they missed the MM and LOTR.

I don't feel too bad. The cherry pickers are how we found out about the remaining games.

Quoted from btrip:

Jeeeeze...
People find stuff like this and I can't even get someone to sell me a STTNG at an inflated price. Anyone have a nice $2600 STTNG? I'll pay you $2900 for it. *sigh*
Good stuff BK.
