Used board games in Guelph typically sell for C$9 to C$75 (about $7 to $54). Board games hold value surprisingly well when complete, and a single missing component can cut the price sharply.
Selling board games in Guelph
Guelph is a university city best known for agriculture and veterinary science, built in limestone and laid out on a radial plan that is unusual for the country. It has a strong local food and market culture and consistently low unemployment.
The academic year governs the supply. Student housing empties in April and refills in September, and the April clear-out is when desks, bookshelves and bikes appear in volume.
The downtown is compact and walkable and the station sits in the middle of it, which makes small handovers easy. Student housing near the campus is dense and parking there is genuinely difficult, so agree a plan for anything large.
Student furniture has usually had a hard few years even when it photographs well. Check the joints on anything wooden and sit on anything upholstered before you commit to a price.
Handing it over in Guelph
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.

Title, edition and completeness: “Catan, 2015 Edition, Complete with Rules” or “Monopoly Deluxe, Missing 1 Token”. Edition matters to hobby gamers because components and artwork change between printings, and the word complete is what most buyers filter on.
