We’ve moved!

A hacker attack forced us to relocate and in the process we got a new domain. The board game auctions can now be found at http://www.bestboardgameauctions.com/ – I think the name’s fitting. Have fun making board game finds in eBay!

New search feature

Check out the new search feature in the sidebar. The search digs through whatever is in eBay, so it will find you whatever you want, almost guaranteed. Try it out!
Nowadays the new updates should appear in the RSS feed automatically, so there’s less need of “site updated” posts in this blog. Anyway, check out bone [...]

Classic Asian games: Go, Shogi, and Xiangqi

I promised new additions, and here they come: I’ve added three classic Asian board games to the site. First of all there’s Go, which is, frankly, the finest board game there is. No discussion about that. No other game can compare to it in timeless elegance.
I also added two Asian chess variants, Japanese Shogi and [...]

Expanding!

I’m expanding the auction site idea to other niches. If you have kids (or you know someone who has), check out Kids’ Stuff Auctions. I’m in the process of starting the site, but there are already few categories worth of auctions listed there.
I’m not forgetting this site, though: more categories will be added here as [...]

Warhammer 40K, Fantasy Battle and Games Workshop

I’ve added more miniature games. I used to play Warhammer Fantasy Battle myself, I think I had some orcs going. It was more about the miniatures, though, and I don’t think I actually played the game that much, probably less than ten matches, as the armies never realized themselves. I guess I started in an [...]

Vintage mahjong and Scrabble, Subway Scrabble

I added few more categories to the mix. There are plenty of vintage Scrabble sets around for very cheap prices, so if you want to add some 1940s or 1950s charm to your Scrabble games, the price is not a problem. Vintage mahjong sets are more expensive, but still, finding a nice old set for [...]

War game publishers added, mahjong shopping tips

I added two war game publishers to the publisher list: GMT Games and SPI. Both seemed to be popular with the eBay buyers and have good selections of games available. SPI has certainly some collector interest with their Strategy & Tactics magazine. Each issue of the magazine includes a complete war game. I’m fairly sure [...]

Miniature games added

Miniature game listings were one thing I initially skipped in order to get this site up and running. I’ve now added the first miniature games in the auction categories. The first games in the fold are HeroClix and HorrorClix from WizKids. These are fun games, I’ve heard, and of course very much collectible – according [...]

Subscribing to the RSS feed is the best way [...]
