SPICES OF THE WORLD, “the McCormick spice trading game,” dated 1988 by the Avalon Hill Game Company.  For 2 to 6 players, ages 8 and up.  Interesting historical spice trading game in conjunction with modern spice-maker McCormick & Company, uses vials of actual spices as playing pieces (though I wouldn’t recommend opening and using them after 30 years).  See photos for more details.  Game is factory sealed, new old stock.  Contents are presumed mint and complete, though as always, NO guarantees or returns can be made on factory sealed games once opened since I have no opportunity to inspect the contents before shipment. Box measures approximately 11-1/2 x 8-3/8 x 2-1/8”, shipping weight 3-1/2 pounds. (08358)

  • ·  See shipping calculator for postage costs – any items listed as "Free Shipping" apply to the LOWER 48 U.S. STATES ONLY!  Because of so many problems with this, I no longer list Alaska/Hawaii/US Possessions/APO/FPO as ship-to locations.  I will ship there, but you MUST contact me first and wait for my invoice, as I have to charge a nominal fee (usually around $2) for shipping to cover the higher costs to send to those states!

  • ·  As always, no handling charges, and all games are packaged securely with loose parts bagged or otherwise held in place so that you should never open the lid to find a chaotic jumble of pieces!

  • ·  Non-smoking seller, though items come from a variety of sources and no guarantees can be made on their history (however, no items will be sold with noticeable smoke smell without being listed as such, and the few I find are treated with odor removers before sale).

  • ·  Payment is due upon purchase and per eBay's new policy, item can still be sold to another buyer if they pay first, so please don't delay on finishing the transaction to avoid any disappointment. Thanks for your consideration. Check out the ever-changing inventory of games in my store and thanks for looking!

  • ·  IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have any special requests regarding shipment, such as a change of address, special handling instructions, etc, PLEASE notify me upon purchase directly through the eBay message system (or PayPal message system). Due to the very quick turnaround I give all shipments and my tight schedule, any message sent only to my regular email will very likely NOT be seen in time to effect any changes to your shipment, as I only have time to check email sporadically every couple of days. Thanks for your understanding!

  • ·  NO OFFERS!  Prices listed are firm, I do not participate in the Best Offer program.  Prices represent what I feel is fair market value, taking into consideration the cost of shipping (most of my listings are free shipping in lower 48 US states, and that cost often eats a VERY large chunk of my asking price – in many cases, asking me to lower my price is tantamount to asking me to lose money on the sale, which is not a great business model for anyone), eBay and Paypal fees, and the original cost of the item to me.  If an item sits for months, I will usually lower the price on it myself IF it isn’t going to put me into the red on the item, and I very occasionally run a sale (5-10% off).
