Endgame Auction 4/21
The annual Endgame Oakland boardgame auction took place Saturday 4/21 from 11am to precisely 4pm, when the last game was sold (Battlecry, for $10). There were maybe 1/2 to 2/3 as many games as last year, and nearly everything sold except for some that had unreasonably high opening bids. I counted 90 attendees at the start, and 105 bidding numbers. 50-60 were left by the end. It was good to see Aaron again; he flew in to conduct the auction and provide commentary on the games.
I sold 6 games for $41 in store credit and bought 8 for $39.76 plus tax, some of which I plan to read and resell next year.
I sold:
$8 Maharaja
7 Temple of the Beastmen
6 Sumeria (bought at last year's auction)
2 Imperium 3rd Millennium
7 Edge City
11 Last Night on Earth, unpunched
