Guide to Buying Games on BGG 
There are a number of ways to buy games through BGG, including person-to-person, through BGG Auctions, GeekList auction, eBay and advertisers. All of these options and more appear in the "Bazaar" menu at the top of the page.
BGG Marketplace
The BGG Marketplace offers a way for individuals to list games for sale. It is requested that all person-to-person purchases go through this system, as BGG asks for a small percentage of the sale price in enabling the sale.
GeekList Auctions
Individual users will sometimes arrange to sell games via GeekList auction.
BGG Auctions
BGG Auctions are exclusively paid for with GeekGold. Not only games can be auctioned, but also game-related items, and even non-game items (including cash via PayPal).
Online and retail stores
Numerous threads in the Forums have discussed the various online and retail game store options. Also under the Bazaar menu is a link to GamestoreDB.com, a database of retail and online game stores searchable by location. This is not part of BGG, but is run by Matthew Gray, one of the BGG Admins.
Receiving Notifications
In the "Board Game Entry" section of each game entry, Subscribe to the game which will cause you to receive GeekMail whenever that game is listed in BGG Marketplace or listed for auction on eBay.
