AA50 $300…. yikes!!!!!

[Battlingmaxo]

I just purchased BOTB for 19.99 and was shocked to see all links for AA50 were sold out or charging $300. I got mine about three weeks ago  for $75. Are there any cheaper sites?

[Lema099]

Well, that was quick.  A week ago, when there was word of AA50 selling out sporadically, I checked and saw that both Boards & Bits (where I bought mine) and Funagain had it in stock for their usual prices.  Now - gone!

Edit: just checked BoardGameGeek’s entry for the game and saw that the usual Sci-Fi City ad is still in place.  But going to the site, it’s no longer there.

Check out the price on Amazon.com!

wow, i heard they were not making any more, so i wanted to buy a second one.  i called all around and found only 2 in town.  so i bought one, now i plan to keep one put away, or maybe sell it on ebay.  $130 on ebay now.  wait a few months and it might be worth more than gold.

A friend of mine bought the last AA50 at a local FLGS FOR $89.99.

I told him if you don’t I will!

Wow…. does anyone know where i can buy a copy that doesnt cost a fortune??

[Imperious Leader]

google the internet. Prices will drive higher each day. The longer you wait the more it will cost. It will never go down in price.

i got mine on Craigslist about 1 week ago, used for $65.  one dice missing, and a dime sized indent on the little board for tracking your income that noone uses.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say I got a hell of a deal.

I bought mine a week ago from my store here for $130 Canadian.  They have around a dozen copies.

Mission Fun and Games in St.Albert, Alberta.

Try them

Well if it is a better game then Revised won’t there be a reissue?

[Imperious Leader]

It cost too much to make it in the same quantity as revised.

Does this go for Jeff’s the Wargame, too ?

[Imperious Leader]

No because he is doing direct sales for the most part. If he sells to other retailers he wont give them much of a discount, so they cant really compete with his standard price since anybody who tried would find the game to order for cheaper from him directly.  Plus it does not have a track record of nearly 30 years to go on. He has sold about 70% of his inventory so far.

I bought mine for 99.99$ at coolstuffinc.com

I think they still have some copies.

But 99 is still a lot of money, I can understand if people don’t want to pay that much. But for the quality time and fun I am expecting from the games I will play (I haven’t played yet, I just received few days ago), I think it is worth the money.

just checked coolstuff. they redirect you to amazon where there are 2 listings for 195.00 and 299.00

[Omega]

Ah sorry, couldn’t post it quick enough

It was still 99.99$ like 2-3 weeks ago (I ordered the 4th April). They had 9 copies when I ordered. There wasn’t that 2 limit per client when I ordered

$130 cdn is still about $110 US.  Mission has a dozen copies, and they do ship.  Try them.

FYI, they raised their price too; I just bought their last copy for $160 CDN (came to $143 USD with shipping).

The next cheapest I found was $170 USD at http://www.coolstuffinc.com (they have 4 left).

I meant to preorder it but I’ve been busy and it fell off my radar… I’m kicking myself because some stores had it for ~$75 only a few months ago.  D’ohhh!

[Battlingmaxo]

Mission is  now soldout. Coolstuff still has 4 left at 170usd. I bought from them about a month ago when they had 12 for 75usd.

[Imperious Leader]

I told you people to buy 6 copies like 9 months ago!

See you could have created a new commodity with more value than gold.
