How much money are these old board games worth, if anything?

Posted on 1816 November 2009 by admin in board games

I grew up in the 90s and came across a bunch of board games I have and was just curious as to how much money I can get from a pawn shop, or if it’s worth going to an antique appraiser? They probably are still making most of the games I have, but I have the original’s and was just curious. The games are Guess Who, Connect Four, Risk, Stratego, Life, Monopoly, Scrabble, and Triple Yahtzee. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you got any of them in the 1990s, none of them are "originals".

For a few of them, having a particularly old copy in excellent condition might be worth something. However, unless it’s one of the first printing of Monopoly from 1936, "something" probably doesn’t mean more than 10 or 15 bucks.

All the games you list are or were published by Hasbro. The company doesn’t publish a game unless it is going to make 250,000 copies of it. Nothing in your list is rare (unless the Game of Life in your possession is The Checkered Game of Life from 1860 or a Charles Darrow edition of Monopoly). Depending on condition, maybe you can get twenty dollars for the lot at a garage sale. Check out EBay or Boardgame Geek to see what games sell for big bucks.
