RE: Today is Play Monopoly Day!

in Tabletop / DND6 days ago

We shop at a store where all items are donated from big stores like WM, and Target. and food stores like Publix and Winn Dixie.

They had Monopoly games for sale, several cases full, and they wanted 19.99 each for them, I have not bought a board game in many years so I do not know what they are worth in the bigger stores but I thought for something that has been donated it was a ridiculous price.

They say their prices are a handling fee, so why does it cost more to handle something that just gets set on the floor and something that has to be kept cold is cheaper to "handle"?

Sorry, I got on a rant about them.

Anyway, if my kids were young, I would be for making my own game to play with them.

Sort:  

$20 does seem closer to regular price than a real discount. Special editions are around $30 on Amazon, and the basic game is about $15.

It had wrestlers on the box, maybe it is a special wrestling edition but still, 20 dollars is a lot to ask for something that was donated and you claim the charge is a handling fee.
