How to build up a Garage Board Game shelving unit in your garage at low cost:
1. Keep an eye out on your local craigslist postings in the free section for shelving units, many people give them away when they are moving.
You can also find good deals on low priced shelves at local garage sales and estate sales.
2. Keep an eye out on your local craigslist postings in the free section for used board games and puzzles, many people give them away when they are moving, or when they no longer play the board games. (This is a great way to get board games and puzzles.)
Also sometimes local garage sales have a free section, and sometimes games and/or puzzles are free.
3. Post an ad on craigslist that you are looking for free used board games and puzzles and sometimes people will reach out to you, and will give you their unwanted board games and puzzles. You can do that on craigslist or any other social media site that has a free section, or posts garage sales, and estate sales.
4. You will sometimes have to replace missing player pawns, dice, and so forth on some used games, so if you get some games that missing pieces you can try to replace them with other pieces to make the game playable, or you can use that game for spare parts to complete other board games.
5. Remember that anything you that find for free is the best way to get your Garage Board Game shelf going, but if you can't find shelves or board games on your local craigslist... than try your local second hand stores (like Goodwill, etc.) board games are less expensive there than brand new at Target, etc., and most second hand stores will allow you to open the board game and look at it before you buy it, so you will know if the board game is missing any pieces. (A lot of the board games I look at are sometimes missing dice or player pawn/token and I will still buy it... because those are easy to replace or substitute if missing.)
6.If you have a complete game already and you want an extra version of that game, you can always scan and reprint out missing stuff... I do that Monopoly games. If a monopoly game is missing a property card, a change card or community chest card, I will just figure out which card it is missing, and then I will scan the card from a complete game and use the scanned card to complete the game that was missing the card.
You can also do that Clue... when the suspect sheets run out, keep a few blank ones taped to a sheet of paper and then scan and print out new unused suspect sheets so you can have more sheets to keep playing clue (or if you come across a Clue that doesn't have any sheets, you can print them out for that game.)
7. Games that are missing instructions are still a good find, and you can definitely find instructions online to print out to replace missing game instructions. I do that all the time.
If you can't find a specific game's instructions, comment on this posting and I can try to find the instructions and let you know where to find them.
Remember having a Garage Board Game shelf for your household is a good thing, as high inflation gets worse... board games will be a low cost entertainment for your family and friends. You can bring a board game to friends house to enjoy, or you can host a board game night at your house.
You can loan out games to friends and family and you can enjoy the games as well. Same thing goes for a puzzle shelf.
