Imagine a marketplace dedicated solely to game pieces, just like BrickLink for Legos or TCGs for cards. Game Piece Central is launching to become that ultimate resource for board game enthusiasts and resellers looking to complete their collections.

We had a basement full of incomplete board games. After realizing we were buying replacement pieces anyway, we decided to start selling them. Fast forward a few years, and now board games and pieces are our primary business. We aim to be the number one seller on eBay!

Not every flip is a home run. Sometimes the lesson is patience. πŸ˜…

This Orange Lion Plush with Blue Mane sold on eBay for $15 after being picked up for $1 while sourcing.

πŸ’° Breakdown

Sale Price: $15.00
Cost of Goods: $1.00
Estimated eBay Fees: ~$2.74

Profit: ~$11.26
ROI: ~1,126%

πŸ‘€ The Real Lesson

This plush sat in inventory for an entire year before finding the right buyer.

We talk a lot about fast flips, but long-tail items are part of the reselling game too. Not every item sells in days or weeks. Sometimes it takes monthsβ€”or even yearsβ€”for the right collector to come along.

🚫 NOLO Alert

This wasn't a BOLO.
This was a NOLO (Not One to Look Out For).

The sale was profitable, but tying up inventory space for a year isn't always the best use of capital.

Sometimes the best flips aren't the most profitable...
They're the fastest.
