A gamer I know is selling a bunch of crap on Saturday but is there anything worth me buying?

Someone was clearly a thrifter [some real charity shop staples on there]...
I don't see anything there that screams "ebay me!" other than couple of specific issues of Dragon in that run [the ones with the games in 'em and any of the Tom Wham games being tops] and perhaps that Star Wars M'Falcon Puzz 3D [and only if the parts bags are still sealed or if the box is in shrink--used puzzles don't sell well unless you want to count every bit]. [All would be $20ish ebait at best and can totally brick too; not for the faint of heart in the resale market.]
As for games to play, the Catan stuff is, well, Catan stuff--usually good solid games--that everyone in the world except me seems to already own. Well I do own one: Kat and I dig Starship Catan [a Kosmos 2-player and part of my personal "Games with Wife" series. I got the impression though that QueenPut had a taste for heavier [and trashier] fare than WifeMatix]
TransAmerica is pretty fun crayon rail game for kids and folks who like to play Euro-style family games; Torres may actually fall into a similar "light family game" slot too, but it's been so long since I've played I can't actually remember how much fun I had with it.
If you've ever liked any of the Mystery Rummy games, Wyatt Earp is probably the best developed in that family. We like card games 'round here, so this one works for us. Guillotine is also a fun card game for just about all ages--and now I really wish I hadn't just bought one at retail [after having to throw my previous copy in a trade as a deal-closer].
With the rest of the euros I see, Elfenland, Maya, Mexica, Yspahan, Industria, and Bohnanza probably have some trade value with the Euro crowd, particularly if you can get 'em real cheap. I'd say the same thing with Talisman [I'd presume you already own it] for the ATers but it's cropped up so often in the blow-out bins recently and with the FFG version on the horizon, it might be deadweight at this point. Puerto Rico might also a tough one to trade; lots of people want it but a good many of folks also tend to have little to offer in trade.
But, yea, that certainly is a bunch of crap

Without sounding like an absolute dawk, the 1950s Coca Cola cribbage board sounds interesting if you play cards and it's in good condition - would be interested in knowing how much it's going for
