This is in West Valley, Utah.
[edit: link to a better copy of the list]
I'm liking Dawn of the Zeds for $10, Zulus on the Ramparts. There are other good games but not ones I can get to the table. I used to own Duel of Ages II. It was the most beautiful of toads. The Grizzled is tempting. A Fat:tie is selling Theseus and expansions.

Yes, it's that same library sale! The prices seem higher this year. I sold about $200 of games last year.

Stratego for $5 would be a great price for a classic 2-player game.
Nuclear War for $10 would be worth it.
Theseus: the Dark Orbit for $10 is probably a good price. Some people here really like it.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (MB) for $15 is another good one. I played it just last month and a surprising number of people liked the show and enjoy the game.
Forbidden Desert for $15 might not be a bargain, but it's a good solo/co-op game.
IIRC, Risk Lord of the Rings is supposedly a good 3-player and one of the best Risk variants, so $15 might be a bargain.
Legend of the Five Rings core set for $20 sounds like it is probably the FFG base set, and $20 is a good price for that.
My Little Scythe for $30 might be worth it.
Space Hulk: Death Angel for $30 is a little spendy if just the base set, but it's totally out of print and one of the best games in my collection. This is the best game on the whole list, imo.
Duel of Ages II for $50 might be worth it for an extremely interesting shelf toad.
Dungeon Degenerates for $60 might be good. Some people here swear by that game, but I suspect they are over-rating due to the black light style artwork.
Root plus Riverfolk expansion for $120 is a possibility, but I personally think that Root is an interesting but fundamentally flawed game.
The Mushroom Eaters for $140 is expensive, but maybe fair for a very unusual and out-of-print game.
Chaos in the Old World + the Horned Rat for $240 is too rich for my tastes, but it is completely out of print and could likely be resold in a few years for even more money.
I have no comment on the games without prices at the bottom of the list, except that some are good games.

Zulus on the Ramparts is reputed to be a very good solo game though I have never played it.
