How to Track Board Game Expansion Pricing on Out-of-Print and Niche Releases

Board game expansion pricing on out-of-print expansions, Kickstarter exclusives, and limited releases varies by aftermarket. Here is the strategy.

Why board game expansion pricing is volatile

Board game expansion pricing on out-of-print expansions, Kickstarter exclusives, and limited releases varies dramatically across BoardGameGeek Marketplace, eBay, Noble Knight Games, and brand-direct. For out-of-print Twilight Imperium 4 expansions or Gloomhaven Forgotten Circles, aftermarket pricing can range $50 to $300 for the same item.


Where each retailer wins

For in-print expansions, Miniature Market and CoolStuffInc at standard MAP pricing year-round. For out-of-print expansions, BoardGameGeek Marketplace and eBay aggregate aftermarket sellers at varied pricing. For Kickstarter exclusives, original Kickstarter backers reselling on BGG Marketplace.

For shoppers chasing specific out-of-print expansions, BGG Marketplace selection and pricing is typically broader than eBay.
