Board game value checker & scanner
Point your camera at any game and Minti identifies the title, edition, and printing, then shows what it's worth from live eBay listings. Track condition, organize your shelf, and sell it, all in one app.
How much are your board games worth?
A single listing can be wildly off. Minti pulls live eBay listings for your exact edition, drops the outliers, and shows every comparable it used, so a current-retail hit, a long out-of-print classic, or a Kickstarter exclusive all get a value you can trace, plus a one-tap link to eBay's sold history to double-check.
- A low, average, and high range from live eBay listings, outliers filtered out
- See how sealed and used copies compare so you know the condition premium
- Price history across 7-day, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year windows, with Pro
Identify any game in seconds
Not sure exactly which version you're holding? Minti's AI reads the box to pin down the title, edition, and printing, then matches it to a priced record. It separates out-of-print and limited editions from the current retail version, and notes sealed vs used along with the completeness of components, so near-identical boxes don't get mixed up. No manual title-by-title searching.
- Scan the barcode on a modern game box and Minti logs it in seconds, free on every plan
- Recognizes modern hobby games, vintage titles, and out-of-print releases
- Reads the box to confirm the edition and printing
- Auto-fills title, edition, and attributes so your entry stays clean
What makes a board game valuable
With board games, a few things drive resale value more than anything else. Out-of-print and rare editions climb once they leave shelves, and Kickstarter exclusives with content you can't buy at retail carry a premium. A factory-sealed copy sits at the top of the market, while a used copy depends on completeness, every card, punchboard, and miniature present. Minti helps you record all of this so your value reflects the copy you actually have.
- Flag out-of-print and rare editions that command a premium
- Note Kickstarter exclusives and content not sold at retail
- Record sealed vs used and confirm completeness so buyers trust the listing
Organize your board game collection
Keep your games in collections and folders that mirror how you actually shelve them. Every item carries its images, condition, edition, and current value, and your portfolio total updates as the resale market moves, so you always know what your shelf is worth.
If a box is already packed away, catalog search adds a release by name straight from the connected databases, BrickSet, Discogs, and TCG, with no photo needed (Collector).
Profit and loss tracking, so every game shows what you paid next to what it is worth now, and your realized profit after fees once it sells.
Buy, sell & auction in the marketplace
When you're ready to trade, list any game as a fixed-price Buy It Now or a live auction with anti-snipe extensions. Make and receive offers, accept secure payment through Stripe, and ship with a pre-paid label. Funds are held safely until the buyer confirms delivery.
Too heavy to ship? Hand it over locally
A big-box game with every expansion weighs a lot, and the shipping quote is often the reason the sale falls through. List it for local pickup instead. The buyer pays through Minti up front, the money is held until you meet, and you scan the buyer's QR code or a 6 digit code at the handoff to release it. The buyer then has a 48 hour inspection window to check the components, so a heavy box changes hands without a shipping label and without a cash-in-hand meetup.
Board Game FAQ
How do I find out what a board game is worth?
Scan the game with Minti. The AI identifies the exact title, edition, and printing, then pulls live eBay listings for that exact copy, drops the outliers, and shows every comparable it used, plus a one-tap link to eBay's sold history to double-check.
Can Minti identify the edition and printing?
Yes. Minti reads the box and its details to pin down the title, edition, and printing, and separates out-of-print and limited editions from the current retail version so you know exactly which copy you have.
Does sealed condition and completeness matter?
A lot. A factory-sealed copy sells for far more than an opened one, and for used games completeness is key. A game with every card, punchboard, and miniature is worth much more than one with missing pieces. Minti helps you record sealed versus used and note completeness so your value is realistic.
Is Minti free to use?
Yes. Minti is free to download and includes a monthly allowance of AI scans, plus organizing, value tracking, and marketplace access. Paid tiers raise the scan and storage limits for larger collections.
How do I sell board games on Minti?
List any game as a fixed-price Buy It Now or a live auction, receive offers from buyers, and accept secure payment through Stripe. Minti generates a pre-paid shipping label and holds funds until the buyer confirms delivery.
How do I sell a heavy big-box game without shipping it?
List it for local pickup. The buyer pays through Minti up front, the money is held until the handoff, and you scan the buyer's QR code or a 6 digit code in person to release it. The buyer gets a 48 hour inspection window to check the components, so neither side has to pay to ship a heavy box or meet with cash.
