Over the holidays, my mother presented me with this old board game she found. It’s a 1977 Star Wars - Escape From The Death Star game by Kenner. [Photo thereof](http://fff.fathom.org/pages/jackbatty/StarWarsGame.jpg) It’s got all the original game pieces and cards and it is in pretty decent, if not mint conditin. I was half-considering starting up an eBay account to see if I could sell it. I figure a hardcore Star Wars / Game geek would pay top-dollar for shit like this. Then again, it might be worth precisely dick, too? What do you think? ---

I just did a quick ebay completed auction search for you. Looks like they go for about $5 up. Don’t quit your job yet, I don’t think you can retire on it! ---

I looked around ebay and I found a number of those games through completed auctions. Most did not sell. One didn’t sell at even a $2.00 bid. I have no idea why. I don’t know how much it is really worth to a collector but, to these ebay customers, it apparently isn’t worth much. ---

I have a board game about Luke training with Yoda… Never enjoyed it much as a kid. And the artwork makes Luke look like he was drawn by some of the guys at Mad Magazine. ---
