Monthly 2nd-Hand Games Trading (Online Event)

An informal and friendly opportunity to exchange or obtain new games in your collection!

Some of you may have participated in a 'Boardgames Bring & Buy', where gamers trade (swap, sell or buy) their second hand games with each other, perhaps at a local games convention, or using an online website. In the first case, there can be the burden of conveying bulky items prospectively, or in the latter case, there can be the cost of packaging and delivery or collection. On a trial basis, we are aiming to create a more hassle-free framework for members. Inevitably we need rules aimed to help avoid scams and timewasters.

The Process to be observed:

  • An online event is created on last Thursday of each month to cover the following month (e.g. late July's event will cover August).
  • Members may leave details of any games they wish to buy or sell 2nd hand with a proposed price, up to a max of 5 items per entry.
  • If selling, this price must represent a worthwhile reduction on RRP and reflect the condition of the game.
  • Where buying this must not be a pittance (we suggest at least half RRP, again recognizing dependence on the item's condition).
  • In either case, keep messages concise and accurate, make private contact to agree and exchange further details.
  • Personal games collection only, no commercial trading.
  • In addition to actual games, items closely associated with board gaming may be offered, but items outside the hobby aren't allowed.
  • Offers may be made, but persistent haggling is actively discouraged.
  • Do not contact group organizers please, we do not undertake oversight, other than to sanction profiles who abuse the process.
  • Payment method (& receipting) must be agreed between members.
  • By default, collection is at a local group event on our webpages during the next month, which members must observe (but other arrangements may be made only if both parties agree).
  • If any of our venues are unsuitable for collection, we'll aim to advise, and collection outside in a public place may still work fine.
  • Requests may be resubmitted on a following month's event page, but should be withdrawn as soon as an item is traded.
  • You must RSVP in order to comment or to propose a trade, noting that his event does not allow guests
  • Please do not post about games trades on our other group events, or on other areas of our website.
  • Absolutely no scamming or timewasting will be tolerated. Keep it friendly!
