Used Games and Puzzles

All three I’m Board locations feature a Used Games section, full of gently used games at great prices. Used games are sold on a consignment basis. Each item (or set of items) has an accompanying condition report, completed by the seller, full of helpful information about the games’ condition and completeness. Swing on by and check out the offerings – they change all the time!

Want to sell your gently used games at I’m Board? Read on!

• We are currently accepting used board games, game books (such as RPGs), and jigsaw puzzles to sell. Miniatures, novels, toys, dice, and collectibles are currently not being accepted.
• A seller is limited to five items for sale in our Used section, per store. Exceptions can be made for RPG sets and other situations. Just ask.
• Within reason, the seller may sell a “set” of items as a single item (such as a game plus expansions, or a set of RPG books). These items will be shrinkwrapped together and presented and sold as a single item.
• The seller must complete a Used Game Submission Form ( or you can use this fillable form that you can complete and print ahead of time) for each item sold. You can download this form and bring it in, or we will have copies available at the store. The same form is used for all locations. The seller is expected to be honest about the condition of their item. I’m Board staff will review the Submission Form and suggest changes if we deem them appropriate. These forms will be available to view by potential buyers.
• The seller determines a single asking price for the item. We require that your item is given a minimum price of $5.00. Please mark your sale price in whole dollars if possible. This price will be non-negotiable and I’m Board will only sell that item at that price. We will not break up item sets.
• Upon submission, within a reasonable amount of time, I’m Board staff will prepare the used game for sale. We will attach a Used Game Sale Sticker (Post-It note adhesive only) to the item and shrink wrap the item before shelving. This note includes the asking price of the game and a summary of the Submission Form condition report.
• Once shelved, an item will be given at least 60 days to sell. After that time, I’m Board may ask that the seller take the item back. An unsold item may not be submitted for sale again for at least another 60 days.
• Upon the sale of an item, the buyer will be given 3 days to return the item if he or she does not agree with the Submission Form condition report. This is the only condition under which we will accept a used game return.
• Three days after the sale (or as soon as possible), the seller will receive a store credit for 70% of the asking price of the item, as submitted by the seller. I’m Board will process any Wisconsin Sales Tax associated with the purchase.
• Items may not be transferred between stores. An item submitted at a location spends its entire “sales cycle” at that store. Store credit earned at that store can be used at any I‘m Board location.
• I’m Board has the right to refuse to accept any item due to demand, condition, appropriateness, existing copies already for sale, or any other reason.
• A Used Game is sold on consignment and remains the property of the original owner until such a time as it sells or is removed from circulation.
• For items that do not sell, the seller has 30 days to pick up the item after being notified. After this 30 day period, items are considered abandoned and become the property of I’m Board. Please contact us if you require extra time.
• I’m Board does not directly purchase preowned items for resale.
• I’m Board will assume responsibility for the care of the item while in our possession.
