What should I do with my copy of Rail Baron?

[Urban Ranger]

I found my copy of Rail Baron today. It's in very good condition, only slightly played (about 3 or 4 times). Since I couldn't find anybody to play the game with me in the last 5 years or so, that means I probably won't in the near future.

Should I sell the game on eBay or should I keep it? How much is the market price for it now?

[Skanky Burns]

I don't think old games sell very well, but you may be surprised. A quick look on eBay should let you see just how much of a market there is for these types of things. Still, you may be able to buy an ale from the proceeds.

[Urban Ranger]

You are turning into a dwarf!

Holy smokes! The highest bid is now over $56!

[rah]

Give it to Ming as a gift.
It will guarentee it ends up in a good home where it will be used until it's worn out.

$56 bucks, wow. With that type of demand it's surprising that they haven't done a rerelease.

It's now at $76.

More proof that it should probably be reprinted.
AND a better reason to see if I can find any additional copies somewhere and make a tidy profit.

[Asmodean]

If only I'd known this, I'd have bought 20 copies 12 or so years ago

Oh well.

Asmodean

[Ming]

I would have bought 40

[Asmodean]

So would I, but I didn't have the cash for 40 copies at that time. Come to think of it, I didn't have the dough for 20m but that's beside the point

Maybe, next week, I'll stop at the one game store that still had copies last year.

[Asmodean]

Looking to make a quick buck, rah?

It sold for $76, BTW

[Skanky Burns]

Remember, flooding the market decreases profit rapidly.

[Urban Ranger]

Yeah, so we need to coordinate our sales

[rah]

76, wow, I'm impressed.
But I'd have to find more than one or two games because if that's all we find, we'd keep them.
