Back when I was a wee lass, way back in the eighties, I used to play a Star Trek board game with my friends. This was no ordinary board game; this was advanced board gaming. There was a huge map that we spread on the table. We would choose our ships and figure out the hit points, strategize, and try to blow our opponents out of the galaxy. Games often lasted into the wee hours or even more than one day. This was before personal computers, WOW, and all that technology stuff. My weapon was my grease pencil and I was quite the dreadnought pilot. Until a friend blasted through my shields and sent me off into a wormhole.
I still love those games, so I was absolutely ecstatic when my husband brought home a dozen old games. War games, fantasy games, financial games. Vintage games from the sixties to the eighties. My job now is to check them all and see if they have all the pieces (doubtful), decide the condition, and research to see if they are worth the $$$ he parted with to buy them.
We saw one game that is now on Amazon.com. The seller is asking over $500 so I'm trying not to let my palms sweat. It's a fact that you can ask whatever price you like. What you get can be a lot less. Well, I'm off to put on my reading glasses and poke through old boxes hoping for online auction gold. I'll update my progress later on with pictures and all that. Let's hope for profit!
