I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

A few dozen boards games, some crazy expensive. The most recent one was the Witcher which was a Kickstarter campaign. I bought a label maker, small zip lock bags, spent a few hours punching out paper tokens and and sorting everything. Haven't played a single game.

I made a habit of checking out Goodwill for boardgames. Best one yet was King of Tokyo for maybe $10. Like new condition.

Or the board game geek marketplace. I usually look up all the games the seller has listed to get a bit lower price on several and save on shipping.

I'm a big thrift shopper, but I can never bring myself to buy things with a lot of parts (like board games) because every time I did there was something missing :(
