Boardgame Geek (BGG) for selling ASL stuff

[Houlie]

Boardgame Geek (BGG) BGG site is a boardgaming site and is a fabulous resource. It has a pretty robust search function and you can find just about any game.

They also have a marketplace to buy and sell games. I have sold about a dozen games on Boardgame Geek (BGG) over the past year and have enjoyed the ease of transacting there. An additional upside is the 3% selling fee versus eBay's 10% on the game AND the shipping. I was just checking on the half-dozen Schwerpunkts and a few Rally Points I have listed there and wondered if anyone else has used BGG's marketplace before -- especially for ASL?

I looked at it a few times but I have never felt inclined. It's probably silly but I lean towards trusting GS folks more (or GS folks I know who are on FB). Perhaps I don't see enough GS folks selling on BGG.

With eBay 10% comes some assurance and recourse when it comes to transaction issues. With BGG's 3% your butt still hangs in the wind.

I've had great success on BGG. Bought Empires in Arms, Pegasus Bridge, and SASL 2nd edition there. All came as advertised.

Sold AH games Patton's Best and TacAir on BGG. Have Midway up for sale.

Also have bought a lot of ASL stuff from BGG, no problems so far, fingers crossed.

I've also made 24 trades on BGG. No fee. You just pay shipping for the stuff you send.

Highly recommended.

Yes, I have never had a problem. In fact, folks have been ridiculously courteous and kind. And, if any of you are interested in Schwerpunkts 16 - 21 and a few Rally Points, take a look. Here's an example.

Why list on BGG for 3% then? Why not GS and pay a annual "all in" to support the forum? Why list on BGG and advertise it on GS?
