Desperately in need of USED Scrabble tiles for a word collage I am making for my MIL.....Want the original, wooden ones. I realize I could buy them from the craft store, but I am really trying to find used ones. I only need the tiles, so even if you do not have a complete set, I could still use them. Please post here or PM me if you have ones you are willing to part with, and how much you would want for them. Thanks! GG

Have you checked in your area if there any goodwills? I got a couple scrabble boards there this summer when I needed titles.

I use mine to make necklaces so I go to yard sales and stock up but I know there are sellers on Etsy.com that sell used tiles... It's always good to up-cycle!

I always ask at yard sales if they have any, I buy them when ever I can find them, the price always seems to be high, (now that people know we use them for crafts):-( How many are you looking for? and price range, I will look and see what I have in my jug. I know I have a full set of Red-ish tiles, I had to buy the game with the turn table in order to get the red tiles. I paid $10.00, for them, so if you want them, you can have them for $10.00 + 2 postage. I know it's a high price, but it's what I paid. I have yet to do the project that I had intended, But I can do the same project with the other tiles in my collection. Lynn

Thanks for all the info. I have been looking at yard sales and Goodwill, and other re-use places. I am looking for the natural wood ones, so I appreciate the offer, but the red ones will not work. I want used ones as well, seems silly, I know, but I like ones that have obviously been well used and loved. I even have some with little gnaw marks on them! And yes, I know I could distress them myself, but I would know. I want a history attached to the gift I am giving, oh wow, this is silly, sorry to be so fussy. I hope you understand. You get in your head what you want to do, and just have to stick to it! GG

just a thought if you wanted the used look could you use either an ink pad or a reinker in a brown shade to get that look or even tea to stain them? obviously this idea would work better with wood titles (but I think you can buy wood ones on line or from craft stores)

Yes, as I mentioned in the post before yours, I know I could distress them myself, and that is probably what I will end up having to do for some particular letters. This community is so large, and so helpful, I was just hoping someone might have an extra Scrabble game laying around. Thanks! GG

Oh yes, Ladybug, I could definitely use more tiles! Thank you! It sounds like you have gone to a lot of trouble though, so I am sorry for that, but also appreciate it immensely. Just let me know how much you want for them and how many you have. Thanks! GG
