Replacement costs for missing board game bits

  • 1.  Replacement costs for missing board game bits

    Posted Oct 28, 2014 09:13 AM

    Hello Gamers!


    In my ongoing attempt at getting a circulating board game collection going at my library system moving, I hit a small snag. There is a concern over missing parts and what to charge for them (despite my assurances that every library I talk to who circulates games rarely have an issue with missing parts). I prefer to take it case by case but it sounds like the system is concerned about consistency over all the branches (which is understandable). Please, if you have a moment, briefly describe your replacement policy in reply to this post.


     


    Cheers,


    John
