GOOD: Found a mint-condition, sealed copy of the Iron Chef Board Game at Value Village for $3!

BETTER: Only a few copies on Ebay, and the sellers are all asking for opening bids of around $80!

DANG: None of those games have any bids, and an advanced search of all completed auctions shows that NO COPIES F THIS GAME have ever sold :(

Someone is trying to charge $199 for it.

Ask them if they'd be willing to buy it for $50, considering they think they can sell it for that much. ;)

You may not get $80 for it but you'll almost certainly make good money on it when it does sell, particularly if you are significantly underpricing the competition. Try running it in different categories too, like maybe cookware or something to snag a different audience than the others.

Excellent excuse to give up on selling it for now, play it for a little bit, and sell in "like-new" condition for $10 to somebody else who buys it on a lark?
(I'm not sure if this is good business advice, but maybe it's fun?)
