I found that selling the game on "public" spaces like ebay or local variants will often be sold at a heavy loss. Unless you are selling something not so common, expect many offers for the same game, often 60% or more reduced. At the moment we still have the space and so decided to hold onto them for now. We have offloaded some of the less played games to our house in the village and only can play those whenever we are there.
In general many "popular" board games can be bought brand new at 25%-50% off. So if you aren't at least competing in that area or somehow offering something greater then the offers you received were reasonable.
But really I think you simply lacked any incentive to actually sell any of your games in the first place.
We were on the fence. We moved to another city and wanted to shed as much as possible. But in the end it was not worth the trouble. Selling a game for 10-15 euros is not really time well invested. At least at the time ;)
