If you knew the costs you wouldn't say that, or at least most people wouldn't. We're talking $2,500 per game a lot of times.
I know what the board cost if it was me that bought it i'd have sent it right away to be dumped by yourself or whoever had the time to do it as i wouldn't know how to do it personally or if i did i'd make sure to dump quickish as preservation is what it's all about isn't it.
