Wanted: Avalon Hill board games

[Cebus Capucinis]

I am actively trying to expand my secondary collection of board games, and I've now decided to stick firmly in the Avalon Hill territory. I know AAers are known to come across these while thrifting and some of you gents even have them in your houses (perhaps you can be persuaded to part with them ), so I'm going to leave an open Wanted thread for anything Avalon Hill game related. I am looking for all the games, not just the bookcase ones.

 

I'm looking for any that I don't currently have -- games need to be complete and with box, of course, in good condition. Wear on the box corners etc. is fine but no rips or tears for me if you please, thanks.

 

Here's my most current list of titles:

 

The Book of Lists Game

Third Reich

The Arab Israeli War

The Stock Market Game

The Russian Campaign

War at Sea

Midway

Blitzkrieg

Outdoor Survival

Basketball Strategy

Panzer Leader

Fortress Europa

Starship Troopers

Titan

Gunslinger

Squad Leader

 

I know they're pretty common on eBay and of course I buy through Boardgamegeek, but they pop up pretty regularly on AA and the shipping on both of the other sites is usually pretty inflated. Ebay prices are of course ridiculous from time to time, also. So, if you have any that you're willing to part with so I can add to my collection, or if you find any on your travels looking for games, drop me a PM and let me know! I'm more than happy to spend some money on expanding my Avalon Hill board game collection.

I have Ploy and Acquire, I love the guy on the cover of Ploy, he looks so Star Trek LOL

 

EDIT: oops, wait, those are 3M, not Avalon Hill, nevermind Good luck!

I'm collecting those, too, but the Avalon Hill games are now my priority -- though if you ever want to offload those 3M titles, I don't have those yet.....

[video game addict]

I have the following bookcase games

 

Facts in Five

The Collector (appropriate for this site)

Wizard's Quest

TwixT

 

and Axis & Allies Not quite so old, but Avolon Hill as well you probably know.

 

Let me know if you might be interested in any of these. These bookcase boxes have some wear, but look pretty much complete.

[Cebus Capucinis]

I am definitely interested in The Collector and Wizard's Quest. Let me know how much you want, and I'm game for sure!

Are these like $3 in trade titles? I love the look and feel of these games. They're so retro awesome, so if they're like $3 games maybe I'd just as soon keep them, though I'd still like you help you out. Please reference Ax's "Collecting: The Great Conflict" thread... these are not something I need, and don't even really collect, but they're cool all the same LOL. I have the NBC "Vegas" game too, but already decided to keep that one for sure due to it's retro feel and the colors go with my game room orange/green theme. (Hey, it's all about the color coordination for the stylish collector, right?!) But yeah, anyway, if those 2 are something you'd really like to have, maybe a trade offer is more in order, you never know I have no legitimate reason to keep these.

I used to pick these up too. I still have:

 

Amoeba Wars

U.F.O. A Game of Close Encounters

Dune

 

We actually got Dune for Christmas. It's the most complicated game I've ever seen. Never played it.

 

PM sent.

[Cebus Capucinis]

Got a couple more on vacation:

 

The Book Lists Game

Third Reich

The Arab Israeli War

 

 

Updating list to reflect this. Sending a PM to video game addict and will reply to poker_plus momentarily.

 

(I also got Victory Games' NATO and TSR's The Hunt for Red October, but those are another day's story)

[Cebus Capucinis]

Here's a pic of the good ol' shelf so far.....the goal: make this entire bookcase exclusively AVALON HILL! One shelf and a half down!

 

 

3M almost has its own shelf too....so maybe we should include that!

 

Anyway: WANTED: anything not in this picture of Avalon Hill board games!

[Cebus Capucinis]

Found 3M Challenge Bridge at the local Savers for $1.99, 3M is now one step closer!

[Cebus Capucinis]

Thanks to poker_plus, I have two new AH games to add to the collection!

 

 

Two more down....many, many more to go! Bumpski for thanks and for re-canvassing for interest: Anyone has these lying around, I'm collecting 'em!

[Cebus Capucinis]

Bumpski for more games!!

[gamers88]

Have LOTS of Avalon Hill and 3M games available for sale or trade. Looking for some too. (That Dune mentioned a while back would be of interest for example.) E-mail me at [email protected] and let's talk about it.

What the deuce? I didn't know this thread was bumped! Sending an e-mail now! LOL

 

Bump for more interest.

I always hope to run across a cheap copy of Rail Baron, though it takes a certain kind of person to consider this game fun.

[gamers88]

I have Rail Baron too! (But you're right, it's NOT cheap. But it IS complete and in nice shape.) E-mail me at [email protected] if you're interested.

[gamers88]

Still have TONS of Avalon Hill and 3M stuff available for sale and trade. I'm also buying and trading Avalon Hill and 3M games (and games of all types and descriptions - wargames, sports games, games of politics and business etc.) from all companies, old and new. If you're looking for something, contact me directly at [email protected]. If you're selling or trading, I'm interested in that too!

I have several Avalon Hill games that I would like to pass on to someone who would like to keep them rather than sell them. They are in various conditions but they are, I believe, for the most part complete. Many have some un-punched counters but all have bee used, some more than others. I would like to pass on the whole lot rather than piecemeal. I will ship them to you for the cost of postage. The games are: Panzer Blitz, Squad Leader, The Game of Railroading, 1776, Arab Israeli Wars, Tobruk and The Rise and Decline of the Third Reich. Way back in the day, I had several other games including Tactics II which came from the Sears catalog one year for Christmas. I recall having D Day as well but those games never returned from being loaned to a friend. You can reach me at [email protected]

I joined this forum after doing a Google search for Avalon Hill games. I played Avalon Hill games in college and continued while on active duty from 1967 to 1971. Got home, got married, and the games have been in storage ever since. What I’m looking for is a good home for my vintage games.

 

I have (1958) Tactics II, (1965) Battle of the Bulge and Blitzkrieg, (1968) 1914, (1970) Panzer Blitz, the Stock Market, and Kriegspiel, (1971) Luftwaffe, and (1973) Baseball Strategy. All of the games have been played multiple times, some in not so friendly places (it was only a conflict, not a war!). The only game with a not so decent box is Kriegspiel and I somehow have 3 boxes of the Stock Market game.

 

The games weigh a lot for shipping. I live in Elkton MD, near where I-95 crosses into Delaware. Not sure if private messages here can go directly to personal email, so my direct address is sandybittman at bitware dot com

 

Never sold anything on line before, just looking for a nice home for the games that got me through some tough times while on active duty.
