Check my other listings. More to come (50 +).A lot of games on eBay are listed with the comment "seems to be complete". All of my games are inventoried to ensure they are complete. This means that small pieces are sorted and counted. In most cases, if there are any missing pieces, I can tell you which pieces are missing. This is time consuming and big dealers cannot invest the necessary time for this amount of detail.My games are priced to be equal to or lower than other listings in the "same general condition" as the ones that I am listing.
