A complete copy of Gloomhaven in shrink is worth three times a punched copy missing two hex tiles — and your inventory system needs to know the difference. BCSS gives board game shops and tabletop RPG stores a flexible system for tracking the details that determine used game value: completeness, edition, condition, and component status. Pair that with a trade-in counter your customers will actually enjoy using, and consignor management that pays people accurately without manual math. One purchase, no subscriptions.
Used board games live or die on component completeness. BCSS gives you the fields to capture that — and price inventory accordingly.
Completeness & Component StatusTrack Completeness (Complete, Missing Cards, Missing Dice, Missing Rules) and Punch Status (Unplunched / Shrink, Punched Unplayed, Played) using custom fields. A game with a missing component needs to be priced and disclosed accurately — BCSS makes sure that detail is never buried in a sticky note.
Edition & PrintingFirst editions, Kickstarter exclusives, and standard retail printings of the same game are different products to collectors. Track Edition (1st Print, Deluxe KS Edition, Revised) and Publisher so your inventory reflects true market value rather than a generic title search.
The Trade-In CounterBoard game players are natural traders — they finish a game, move on, and want something new. When a customer brings in a stack of games, log each one quickly, set your buy price, and issue Cash or Store Credit on the spot. Store credit keeps them spending in your shop instead of listing on Facebook Marketplace.
Expansions & AccessoriesTrack expansions, promos, and accessories as separate inventory items linked to the base game using custom fields. Customers searching for a specific Wingspan expansion or a Catan 5-6 player add-on should be able to find it in your system — and so should you when you're doing a restock audit.
Consignor ManagementSelling games on behalf of collectors or downsizing hobbyists? BCSS tracks each consignor's inventory separately and calculates their payout automatically at the time of sale. No manual tally at end of month — just accurate statements that keep consignors trusting you with their collections.
Cost Basis & Margin TrackingBuying bulk lots from an estate or a collection clearout? Log your cost at entry using our Resale Features and track your margin on each game sold — essential when you've paid a flat rate for a mixed lot of fifty games at varying individual values.
BCSS uses flexible custom fields so it works for every type of tabletop product your store carries, new or used.
Used game margins are modest by nature — buying low, pricing fairly, and moving volume is how game shops stay alive. A monthly software subscription is a fixed cost that eats into that margin every single month. BCSS is a one-time purchase you own outright. Buy it once, use it for the life of your store.
