Hi, so I bought a gameboard at a yard sale , it was a fundraiser purchase from 1992. It's named after a small town in N.J. (pine hill) it's similar to monopoly, except all the squares are local town businesses that I suppose sponsored the fundraiser..some businesses still exist ,some don't. How can I get info or find out if any worth?? Thank you
I got a tornado rex years ago at a garage for my son when he was younger. The box is messed up some but game is in good shape. He actually brings it to board game night (he is 20 something) that his friends have occasionally just for fun. It's always a hit even for the 20 somethings.
awesome video , I have both DARK TOWER and FORTRESS AMERICA I got them new for Christmas or a birthday back in the 80s . they're both complete and in good shape , in a closet with about 50 other board games from the 70s and 80s .
My grands, nieces & nephews, all know that Mimi Syl loves Tornado Rex. : ) Always have to play when they visit. Never will sell it....way too valuable! Thanks, Don! Always good info.
I just sold the Strat-O-Matic Pro Football 1982 game this weekend for $125+ shipping. Sold in week. It was a bear to count all the pieces, but it was complete! I also picked up the Stratis Pro Baseball game and sold for $70 in a week. Picked up both for $1 each at a church sale
I loved this video! I love to flip Board games, love when you find a random out of print one that can bring in big $. I own that Pokemon game, not sealed of course, but it's one of my favorites, I don't think I could ever part with it, LOL
Great info! I want to get axis and allies. I got two obscure ones for ya. Maybe not worth much but some good old vintage fun. They are called Park and Shop and the other is called Manhunt. Park n shop was where u had a list of errands to run and the gameboard was a city. You drew cards and had to maneuver your piece around town and finish your errands before the other players. Sometimes you got dinged and had to lose a turn from a "flat tire" or had another errand added to your list. Simple but alot of fun bc you chose what route u would take. Manhunt was a detective game almost like clue but u had to actually collect evidence and process it in a crime lab. Whole lotta fun! And of course dont forget the war games that were sold in the back of comic books! I ordered and still have mine 30 yrs later! They were made by a company called Helen of Toy. They were small bookshelf games with alot of pieces like planes, ships, tanks, subs. They were so fun. Look those up on ebay! I think i paid about 7 or 8 bucks for mine. Ive seen em listed in the hundreds on ebay!🤯. Great post again. Thanks for the memories!
Hi Don! I think the most expensive game I sold was The Serial Killer Trivia Game. And another one I had which I don't recall the name was some agriculture board game that was only available to public schools. And now that I think of it I'm surprised Ebay don't pull the serial killer game off. They don't like that stuff. Lol Thanks again for your time and knowledge!
I had no idea Axis & Allies 1914 was that valuable. Thank you for sparking my interest. The Anniversary, Guadalcanal and Battle of the Bulge editions are valuable, as well. But then there's versions of Axis & Allies that are worth about as much as the shipping cost.
Great video. I’ve sold several of these games over the years, not for quite that much money though. Another one to add is the game “Masterpiece: The Art Auction Game”. I’ve sold it for at least $100 on Amazon.
Another great video. Your videos are always so informative and I learn more from your videos than anywhere else. Thank You, for your time and hard work. Keep it up!
Never heard of Dark Tower Don, or ever seen or heard of any of the other games other than Monopoly, these must be a US trend from the 80s. Interesting video Don. Charles in the UK
Let us not forget the Barnabas Collins board game. It is hard to find especially with the vampire teeth. One key to getting top dollar for games is showing that they work. If it lights up, spins or whatever, show a short video and then the money will flow!
Thanks! I had no idea about games, but I think you had just recently mentioned playing cards. I picked up a pack about an hour ago that might net me five bucks. I’m learning and I may go back and see what I missed . Very educational.
I've been a board gamer since forever. You should also bolo for Conquest of the Empire, Shogun and Broadsides( probably the hardest of those types of Milton Bradley games to find) . Original Avalon Hill and SPI games were mainly 2 player battle simulation games. I believe Mayfair games came out with upgrade reprints of some of their games. There are a lot of games that were popular in their day that did not have high print runs and are more fun than most games today.
When I first started flipping online it was board games. The only ones from your list that I had was the black Pokémon, hotels, and hero quest. No one that I knew of was flipping vintage board games and they were hot until 2015 then they tanked unless they were rare and obscure. Vintage wooden Risk used to fetch 50 easy. I even shipped them to aircraft carriers.
I had never heard of stat o matic style games. About 6 months ago I bought an estate with 2 bedrooms full of apba , Stat o matic,, etc. It was a learning experience, and I definitely watch for them now...lol
If by "played many boardgames" you mean "played various versions of monopoly and clue" then you likely never would have, but games like cosmic encounter and heroquest are particularly famous and have been reprinted a few times.
I had the Dark Tower board game, bought it at a yard sale in 1982 when I was 10 for $5.00....sadly I do not have it anymore but the game was phenomenal, restoration games is revamping it as Return to Dark Tower but IMO it doesn't have the same magic.
Great video im only 22 but ive always been more into older pop culture i have a vinyl collection also have alot of old movies and games. Cant beat the classics..👍😁
Was that Star Wars game released 1992? I notice Liam Neeson on the cover of the box. He was in the prequel ,The Phantom Menace(1999). Thanks for your service!
I totally forgot about Masterpiece until I saw your comment. We had that when I was a kid- I loved it. It introduced me to so many beautiful paintings I had never seen before. I wonder if it's still in the attic of my childhood home- my brother owns the house now, I should have him look. I might be playing it again!
1st edition Space Hulk from 1989 is another good one... sells for $250-ish without expansions. The expansions are pricey, as well. Space Hulk was sort of based on the Aliens movie, so it is amusing that Leading Edge put out an Aliens game (board game, not the RPG that LE also did make) also in 1989 and that game is very pricey and collectible... in the $250-$300 range... the expansion is often even more!
Good info. In the four years that I've been reselling, I've only run across the Strat-O-Matic Baseball, Fortress America, and Pokemon Sorry games, all open though. I think I got something like $80 for the bball game and $25 for the Sorry. I still have the Fortress game, but the box is rough. At one point I was looking into parting it out, but may have to rethink that.
I have a Wizard of Oz board from a game from 1939. It seems to be the same layout as the 1939 Copp Clark game but this one has the characters and images from the 1939 movie on it. I have never found another. It has the copyright date of 1939.
Excellent info video that leads off with the best boardgame ever made. Too bad I sold my childhood copy of “Dark Tower” ten years ago. But I did get $375 for it (opened but complete and working).
A little off subject but I love your radio collection. I have a 1930’s G&F Searchlight radio that I’d love to send a picture for your opinion, information or feedback. I’m an old time picker and always learn something new watching your great content! Thanks!
It's a green screen. I thought Don had a great license plate collection until he mentioned in a video that a fan sent him one for the "collection". Also a fake background. 😉
I've the Dark Tower. Won an Ebay auction for almost 100 bucks. The seller sold it as "non functional" but i gambled thinking a friend of mine could repair it!. It was super easy to repair!. Now it is like the Holy Grail of my board game collection!.
#13 the Von Erich Family game. I bought one for $10 at Dollar General Store when l was a kid. I lost it in a home fire a few yrs later. I bought one for $150 sealed on eBay a few yrs ago. It was for charity to help a little girl.
I have a Fortress America just sitting on my shelf but I think it's missing some pieces like disc. I'll have to go through it now and check to see what's missing from me. Good to know that it's a valuable game.
Green Ghost was a fun scary game for me as a kid...was re-released about 15 years ago,that’s how popular it was...also Shenanigans was a fun board game too...keep up the good work,and don’t worry about the idiots,it’s not worth your time...
I have a 1959 "Have gun will travel" in the closet. It has a pistal for a spinner, bullet piecec and riders on hoses. Have you seen this before? It is made by Parker Brothers.
I just came across a vintage board game Coney Island from 1956 from Selchow & Righter could you tell me any information if you happen to have any and how much would they sell for
I’m about to make a tough decision… We own the Catan 10 years edition. I bought it at Goodwill a couple of years ago. I gave it to my 17 year old son and we play as a family frequently. I think I’ll let him decide. My brother had Dark Tower when I was young. Never figured it out … I just pressed buttons. Haha.
I'm working on a commission to paint ALL the pieces of an Axis & Allies WWII game - all theaters, all countries' militaries involved. Painting all the pieces is actually a more common practice of those really into the game. Note: all pieces usually need to be painted according to actual colors and paint jobs of back during WWII.
Is there a web site that has list of board games and all pieces that were originally included so you can determine if a game is complete or missing pieces.
Crossbows and catapults is worth a lot now too. I had it as a kid and never used it as a game. It was fun to just build a castle and blow it up with the catapult
The Alien boardgame from 1979 in good shape usually sells for a couple hundred dollars, unopened would be close to $1000. Also Nuclear War with complete set of boster packs usually goes for $300-500.
Thx for the great information!!! Just a quick comment in the Star Wars game. The title of the listing said 1992 but that movie didn't come out till 1999.
I bought a couple of monopoly games that have my city's name Sierra Vista and Bisbee on it from walmart in AZ. I thought it as a collectors piece. Not sure it is worth anything now, but maybe later.
Battle masters was a collab between MB and miniatures wargaming company Games Workshop (whose product is quite expensive). GW has strict rules at tournaments that all miniatures must be only GW product. When Battle Masters came out, GW declared the miniatures inside to be "official" GW miniatures.. So gamers bought up boxes and boxes of Battle Masters for cheap Orcs and Goblins, Empire mercs and Bretonian knights. Even a troll!
I frequently go to a donation center called Savers to check out the various board games people have brought in (and once found a Nintendo VirtualBoy in the box). To my agony, on one of my visits, as I approached the board game rack I passed a guy walking away from it holding a Hero Quest game under his arm. I was mere minutes away from the chance of buying it for about five bucks. Still makes me sick to my stomach...

🎵 Tornado Rex I love the Rex smash and crash gotta listen to what I say 🎵
Stratego and Risk were the games we played in high school.

they're both complete and in good shape , in a closet with about 50 other board games from the 70s and 80s .

Thanks, Don! Always good info.
I'm amazed at how many of these were not on my radar. Thanks for this presentation.

Fun video. I still have my barely used original copy of Hero Quest, and most of a very well-used version of Fireball Island.
Man those Star Wars guys really want you to know it was 1999 not 1992. Holy. Great vid!
It is amazing what some games go for. WOW I will keep broadening my search.Thank you Don!
Hi Don!
I think the most expensive game I sold was The Serial Killer Trivia Game. And another one I had which I don't recall the name was some agriculture board game that was only available to public schools. And now that I think of it I'm surprised Ebay don't pull the serial killer game off. They don't like that stuff. Lol
Thanks again for your time and knowledge!
that game sounds amazing 🤣🤣
I've never seen "It From the Pit" before! I love that one, if I find one I'm going to play with it.
I got one at the Salvation Army a couple of years ago for $5. It's missing a couple of pieces, but still a good find.
I had no idea Axis & Allies 1914 was that valuable. Thank you for sparking my interest. The Anniversary, Guadalcanal and Battle of the Bulge editions are valuable, as well. But then there's versions of Axis & Allies that are worth about as much as the shipping cost.

We have that game! We even added more p I ctures to use.
I have mine since it came out, I like it , but I think I'll slip a note in it so my children and grandkids don't sell it for a quarter, or dump it.
Sitting in my bookcase along with a dozen others.
Star Wars Queens Gambit was released in 2000, I thought the mandala effect was happening when I read 1992. Great Content!
Just read the description 🤦♂️
I have a vintage Risk with wooden blocks and oblongs for the armies. Very early edition of the game.
Triangular shape for the 10 (or was it 5, been so long) army piece, yep.
Another great video. Your videos are always so informative and I learn more from your videos than anywhere else. Thank You, for your time and hard work. Keep it up!
Never heard of Dark Tower Don, or ever seen or heard of any of the other games other than Monopoly, these must be a US trend from the 80s. Interesting video Don. Charles in the UK
That monster in the swamp one just has great aesthetics, I love it
Awesome! Thanks! We use to have a Fireball Island game back 30+ years ago. Sadly it got sold in a yard sale back in the day.
Let us not forget the Barnabas Collins board game. It is hard to find especially with the vampire teeth.

I found Samurai Swords (Shogun) at Goodwill yesterday for $6. Nearly complete!
Nice..I have 20 or so Avalon Hill games from the 80's. Some unpunched.
That it from the pit commercial has got to be the most 90s commercial ever love it
Axis and allies is by far, my favorite board game ever. Played that game till 5 6am with full 5 players when I was in high school all the time
I use to play it in tournaments at Strategy Con in Los Angeles.
Have you ever played the A&A tabletop miniatures game? Highly recommended 👌👍
Ues to play it in the army when it wasn't a pay week
I love looking for board games and puzzles to resell. Thank you for this video, really informative! Enjoyed the vintage ads too!
Puzzles? OMG I never thought about that. Thanks, I’m in Texas too. Thanks I almost tossed an unopened box.
When I first started flipping online it was board games. The only ones from your list that I had was the black Pokémon, hotels, and hero quest. No one that I knew of was flipping vintage board games and they were hot until 2015 then they tanked unless they were rare and obscure. Vintage wooden Risk used to fetch 50 easy.

Wooden Risk? You mean the pieces? Yeah got it. A friend back then had the new one with plastic.
I have never heard of most of these; I did make a list! Thank you for another great informative video! ❤️
Mouse Trap is still the best board game ever. Love me some Mouse Trap!
Never actually played it! Just used to put it together to watch it go! Whos with me?
i watched this video last night, went to the thrift store this morning and found 2 springbok puzzles👏🏼 thank you!
I had never heard of stat o matic style games. About 6 months ago I bought an estate with 2 bedrooms full of apba , Stat o matic,, etc. It was a learning experience, and I definitely watch for them now...lol
67 yrs old, played many board games, never heard of most of them.
If by "played many boardgames" you mean "played various versions of monopoly and clue" then you likely never would have, but games like cosmic encounter and heroquest are particularly famous and have been reprinted a few times.
I have dark tower, was one of my childhood favorites
Very cool looking game. It was one of the only ones I had heard of inside that top 15 or so.
I have 2 of them. 1 stopped working so I bought a second one back in the day. Very fun game.
I still have the heroes and the dragon, but everything else has been lost after moving across the country.
We used to play MB and Avalon Hills games all the time back in the day. I see a lot of Axis and Allies in yard sales.
Nice! I have #5 listed! The cool thing about it is they gave out a bunch of extra pieces. Made it difficult to have missing pieces.
I would really like a video from you on a few of your favorite researching sites and sources.
I had the Dark Tower board game, bought it at a yard sale in 1982 when I was 10 for $5.00....sadly I do not have it anymore but the game was phenomenal, restoration games is revamping it as Return to Dark Tower but IMO it doesn't have the same magic.
Ty for sharing the information. I appreciate learning. Nice laugh you have. HUGS and GOD bless you all 🤗.
Great video im only 22 but ive always been more into older pop culture i have a vinyl collection also have alot of old movies and games. Cant beat the classics..👍😁
Thanks for all of these great Bolo's! Enjoy all those commercials!!
I have axis and allies complete in the box but not shrink wrapped
Two years ago I found Dark Tower for 50 bucks at a horror movie convention. Every piece, down to the warranty card, was there and it worked like new
Was that Star Wars game released 1992? I notice Liam Neeson on the cover of the box. He was in the prequel ,The Phantom Menace(1999).
Thanks for your service!
And here I am excited I sold a vintage Masterpiece Game for $50 lol
These games are up there!
I totally forgot about Masterpiece until I saw your comment. We had that when I was a kid- I loved it. It introduced me to so many beautiful paintings I had never seen before. I wonder if it's still in the attic of my childhood home- my brother owns the house now, I should have him look. I might be playing it again!
I had that game it was in good shape think it got sold when I went in the army sister had a yard sale mostly with my things were not close
1st edition Space Hulk from 1989 is another good one... sells for $250-ish without expansions. The expansions are pricey, as well.

Great info!!! Really appreciate you sharing with us!!
nice ultraman shirt. I remember watching the shows in Japan in mid 70's
Good info. In the four years that I've been reselling, I've only run across the Strat-O-Matic Baseball, Fortress America, and Pokemon Sorry games, all open though. I think I got something like $80 for the bball game and $25 for the Sorry. I still have the Fortress game, but the box is rough. At one point I was looking into parting it out, but may have to rethink that.
Great video as always. Saw a fireball in someones elses goodwill cart once. Uggg
Hotels is a great game! I have never seen it in the US. Played with cousins in Italy, 24 years ago! ❤
I have a Wizard of Oz board from a game from 1939. It seems to be the same layout as the 1939 Copp Clark game but this one has the characters and images from the 1939 movie on it. I have never found another. It has the copyright date of 1939.
Hey Don, what do you think an Avalon Hills prototype footall game would go for? A pre-production mockup from the manufacturing/advertising company?
What about crossbos and catapults
Oh oh...you missed the best one of all...Milton Bradley's early 70s Voice of the Mummy!. Great one to have complete and working.
Thank you! Great video, as always.
Excellent info video that leads off with the best boardgame ever made. Too bad I sold my childhood copy of “Dark Tower” ten years ago. But I did get $375 for it (opened but complete and working).
Thanks don you are very knowledgeable I appreciate all your hard work
A little off subject but I love your radio collection. I have a 1930’s G&F Searchlight radio that I’d love to send a picture for your opinion, information or feedback. I’m an old time picker and always learn something new watching your great content! Thanks!
It's a green screen. I thought Don had a great license plate collection until he mentioned in a video that a fan sent him one for the "collection". Also a fake background. 😉
Yeah! I was checkin em out too!
Omg I had tornado rex as a kid. One of my fav games growing up.
The Smurf Boardgame was awesome too, and if you like Risk you'd like Diplomacy
I've the Dark Tower. Won an Ebay auction for almost 100 bucks. The seller sold it as "non functional" but i gambled thinking a friend of mine could repair it!. It was super easy to repair!. Now it is like the Holy Grail of my board game collection!.
#13 the Von Erich Family game. I bought one for $10 at Dollar General Store when l was a kid. I lost it in a home fire a few yrs later. I bought one for $150 sealed on eBay a few yrs ago. It was for charity to help a little girl.
Thanks for the info, will keep my eyes opened for these.
My friend and I played Dark Tower for hours on end when I was in high school!! Sooo much fun!!
I got Hotels complete and in nice condition at goodwill for 4.99 lol I couldn't believe it.My eyes shot out of my head when I checked the value.
Thank you for sharing the knowledge!
I have a Fortress America just sitting on my shelf but I think it's missing some pieces like disc. I'll have to go through it now and check to see what's missing from me. Good to know that it's a valuable game.
Very informative, interesting video! Thank you!
I have axis and allies anniversary edition 2017 still in shrink wrap, I dont't know if I should sell it now or hold on to it
A Question of Sport cards are the FUTURE and the BEST bang for the buck when you buy the full boxes!
The WWF/WWE Trivia games/CARDS are going to be HUGE too, ESPECIALLY when The Rock runs for POTUS!
Green Ghost was a fun scary game for me as a kid...was re-released about 15 years ago,that’s how popular it was...also Shenanigans was a fun board game too...keep up the good work,and don’t worry about the idiots,it’s not worth your time...
I have a 1959 "Have gun will travel" in the closet. It has a pistal for a spinner, bullet piecec and riders on hoses. Have you seen this before? It is made by Parker Brothers.
Thanks for another awesome video 🤗
I just came across a vintage board game
Coney Island from 1956 from Selchow & Righter could you tell me any information if you happen to have any and how much would they sell for
I’m about to make a tough decision…
We own the Catan 10 years edition. I bought it at Goodwill a couple of years ago. I gave it to my 17 year old son and we play as a family frequently. I think I’ll let him decide.
My brother had Dark Tower when I was young. Never figured it out … I just pressed buttons. Haha.
Great information, thank you for sharing.
We played so many games with our kids (now they're 35 and 36) but their favorite was 13 Dead End Drive...
I have two shelves filled with board games! Heroscape was a gem also!
I have an original Wizard of Oz board game with the special Marshall fields game pieces. I’d love to send you a photo.
I'm working on a commission to paint ALL the pieces of an Axis & Allies WWII game - all theaters, all countries' militaries involved. Painting all the pieces is actually a more common practice of those really into the game. Note: all pieces usually need to be painted according to actual colors and paint jobs of back during WWII.
I have West of Alamein. It's an Advanced Squad Leader module representing the British order of battle in WWII. It is not a stand alone game.
Is there a web site that has list of board games and all pieces that were originally included so you can determine if a game is complete or missing pieces.
Crossbows and catapults is worth a lot now too. I had it as a kid and never used it as a game. It was fun to just build a castle and blow it up with the catapult
War of the Ring Collector's Edition... they go easily for over $3,000. It's not terribly vintage, though... it came out in 2010.
The Alien boardgame from 1979 in good shape usually sells for a couple hundred dollars, unopened would be close to $1000. Also Nuclear War with complete set of boster packs usually goes for $300-500.
What about Gangsters from Avalon Hill? The water gun is so much fun!
Great information 👏👏👏
Thx for the great information!!! Just a quick comment in the Star Wars game. The title of the listing said 1992 but that movie didn't come out till 1999.
It's called a mistake. It doesn't though change any aspect of it's value or anything else for that matter.
Those are some BA lookin board games, Professor. I learned a lot from your video. Thanks for the info
I bought a couple of monopoly games that have my city's name Sierra Vista and Bisbee on it from walmart in AZ. I thought it as a collectors piece. Not sure it is worth anything now, but maybe later.
I had that black Pokémon one. People were fighting over them in KB Toys and I slid in and got one as a kid!
I used to love Heroes Quest and BattleMasters! Wish I kept them now.....
Link not working for the other video that you listed to watch below this video ?
Battle masters was a collab between MB and miniatures wargaming company Games Workshop (whose product is quite expensive). GW has strict rules at tournaments that all miniatures must be only GW product. When Battle Masters came out, GW declared the miniatures inside to be "official" GW miniatures.. So gamers bought up boxes and boxes of Battle Masters for cheap Orcs and Goblins, Empire mercs and Bretonian knights. Even a troll!
I frequently go to a donation center called Savers to check out the various board games people have brought in (and once found a Nintendo VirtualBoy in the box). To my agony, on one of my visits, as I approached the board game rack I passed a guy walking away from it holding a Hero Quest game under his arm. I was mere minutes away from the chance of buying it for about five bucks. Still makes me sick to my stomach...
Where does rail baron fit into all of this?
I have a Hero Quest that has never been played. Have one that has been played also
