homerwannabee Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Yeah, I really wish extremely rare board games were on the same value as extremely rare NTSC Atari 2600 games, but that is not the case. If more people knew about it I feel it would be worth more though. http://cgi.ebay.com/The-Black-Experience-A...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Wow, an original vintage "Blaxploitation" board game made by blackpanthersindustries! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaxda Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I collect board games as well (big fan of the 3M bookshelf variety) and I'm not sure I would have started this one so high. They don't come up on eBay very often, but as you say, there's not really a huge market, nor one with deep pockets. Tough to determine value. Be sure to post on http://www.boardgamegeek.com if you haven't already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homerwannabee Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) "And most likely it will be many years before you see this very historically significant game again." Don't believe the hype. Egads, I have actually looked far and wide and only could come up with one other person who actually had this game. And for the past few months of me periodically looking on Ebay I always came up with nothing. It would figure that the minute I put this up for auction another one would also be listed. Edit: The guy posted his game 1 hour after I posted my game. Talk about your bad luck. Also, as far as the price. I have a reason why I made it $49.99. Unfortunately, I am going to have to probably pay a hefty price if I want this game shipped priority mail. The box shape makes it so I have to find an unusual shaped box to ship it in. So because the post office may hit me with an excessive charge to the shape I decided to play it safe it give it a price I am pretty sure I won't lose money on.

Why don't you make the buyer pay shipping? edit-- Tape two priority boxes together. Or Cut cardboard to fit the top,bottom,and sides then wrap it in tape and mail it that way.

It's an interesting game, with a bit of history behind it and despite the other game with the auction it is actually a pretty rare game. Just look around the internet and you will see what I mean.

lemoncurry Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I, too, wish that whatever was so interesting between Aug 7th and Nov 18th could have continued... And, I, too, have a copy of this game. (Sealed!) Then again, I have over 1000 board games, so that's no huge surprise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I, too, wish that whatever was so interesting between Aug 7th and Nov 18th could have continued... I seriously do not want to see any more of this crap, so it stops now. If you have a problem with PingvinBlueJeans, then send me a PM about it and plead your case. Otherwise do me and everyone else a favor and try to keep on topic. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homerwannabee Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Well it just ended with no bids, the other game also did not sell for less than $20. Well if it's not going to sell now with Obama in office than it never will. To the trash this game goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 ?!?!? WTF don't throw it out! Don't you have space to keep it? If not, find somewhere more productive to send it than the trash. This started out as "super rare" and is now going to the trash?! I understand it can be disheartening to put something on ebay and find that at that moment, it's "worthless", but that doesn't mean that it truly is worthless.

I understand it can be disheartening to put something on ebay and find that at that moment, it's "worthless", but that doesn't mean that it truly is worthless. Too late it's already in the dumpster. Edit: I should make one thing clear. If this was a video game system. I would keep it. If I knew someone that actually was around me who would keep this game I would give it to them. If there was no other Game Board known to exist I would keep it. But Lemon Curry has one that is sealed. The other one was auctioned off with no success. No one really wants this game, especially in the condition it was in. So the trash was the best place for it.
