The other avenue is NOBLE KNIGHT will buy stuff, giving you store credit or a slightly lower amount in cash. They cover shipping as well. You won't get top dollar of course, but its hard to beat the one stop shopping ( or opposite in this case ) . Their pricing is variable of course; if they have six copies of say CASE BLUE they aren't gonna give you the same value as if your copy was the only one. But its easy and convenient. Good for unpunched/shrink stuff .
I bought some used rpg stuff from Noble Knight a while back, and got on their emailing list. A few months ago, they had a special offer where they would reimburse at least some of your gasoline receipts if you physically showed up at their location in Wisconsin to sell enough games. I did the math and the games that I might consider selling weren't going to be enough to fully offset the cost of gas, plus it would be at least a 9 hour roundtrip counting the time for them to look over my games and make me an offer. At that time, gas prices were still fairly reasonable but shipping prices might have been high. Now the gas prices are a bigger issue.

But hey, I'm no longer obligated to give 3% of my sales at the BGG.Con VFM back to BGG, so there's that.

Also, by inviting comments, I expect to see more complaining about prices.
Finally, there's a lack of feedback.

Granted, it wasn't the most efficient use of my time then, but the legwork of actively tracking down stuff like Capes & Cowls or Mushroom Eaters is undeniably part of the charm of having them now.

What's the difference on my end whether I'm setting a notification for a specific game's Flea Market forum or getting a Marketplace notification? This doesn't seem to affect my chances of eventually finding Die Schlact der Dinosaurier.
No idea how much you're willing to pay for this but ''die schlacht der dinosaurier'' is on ebay.de right now, five complete and a couple of incomplete versions. 65-120€ though and no idea if they'll ship worldwide.

Speaking of which, USPS announced price hikes for holiday shipping that kick in starting October. Between that and BGG Marketplace closing, this seemed like a good time to dust off my old Wishlist... I wonder if this'll be the year for 'Thrilling Tales of Adventure!'? :-P

I've got a copy of Capes and Cowls I'll part with...

Funny you mention that , there have been a few recent AARs of people playing the game; I have no idea where it’s at in terms of development, publisher etc .
