The Out-of-Print Premium
The modern board game industry relies heavily on Kickstarter and small production runs. If you miss the initial funding window for a massive, highly rated tabletop game, you are forced to pay triple the price on eBay. Finding retail restocks requires constant vigilance.
Catching the Reprints
Publishers rarely announce when a container ship of reprints clears customs.
- Publisher Tracking: Monitor the direct-to-consumer storefronts of specialized companies like GMT Games or Awaken Realms.
- Online Retailers: Track massive hobby sites like Miniature Market for the exact moment a game transitions from "Pre-Order" to "In Stock."
