Topic What are some of my most valuable games?

Scott

* 12-Feb(#1)

I need to sell off a small portion of my collection due to funds being tight. I'm WAY behind on game values, really haven't followed retro stuff regularly in several years. I went through my collection and updated my inventory sheet, but I really don't have time to look up each individual game. I was wondering if some of you who are more up to date on values than I am could take a quick look and call out any games that stand out to you. In particular, any games that may be surprising / lesser known. For example, I know big name games like Chrono Trigger are valuable, but maybe there are some average, run-of-the-mill games that you wouldn't expect to be valuable, but actually they are! Anything like that would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

Note: there are multiple worksheets you can click through along the bottom. Also, ignore any highlighting.

In other words, you're too lazy to look them up on your own, so you're hoping we can do the work for you. The GameCube stuff is practically worthless. I'll be a pal and take the whole lot off your hands for $20 (you pay shipping). 😂

lol I'm not asking anyone to look anything up, just to share any you know are valuable. I've just got so much crap going on right now and need to sell fast, otherwise I'd take my time and look everything up individually.

F-Zero GX is ~$70

Easiest way to do this is just start a VGPC collection, you'd have this info at all times

Scott

Yeah I wish I had just done that from the start. Maybe I'll start chipping away at adding everything on there.

It wouldn't take that long, you have it typed up already, 15 minutes tops

If youre going the vgpc route, I would recommend gameye, cleaner ui.

Wow, is it really that quick to add ~500 games? I figured it would take much longer. I might try to just knock that out tomorrow then if I can find a little time.

Never heard of this one before. Do Gameye and VGPC usually have around the same values for most games? Any notable differences in how they calculate?

Fine, if want to play hard ball, I'll pay the shipping.

As far as I know, it’s pulling pricing in from vgpc. For the most part they have the same info. But the ui is just cleaner and gives some eye candy instead of just clicking on text.

Thanks @Lunar and @loztdogs. I'll try to get my collection added to one of those today.

pricecharting isn't flashy, but it gets the job done. I actually prefer it with just text if you just wanna crunch some numbers.

My suggestion would be going system by system, if you click on the Video Game tab from the main page, and click GameCube for example. Then you can just go through the list, and click Collection to add to your collection.

https://www.pricecharting.com/console/gamecube

Sort by price high to low, if you want to quickly glance if you have some of the highest valued games.

Scott

13-Feb(#14)

Yeah I think I prefer price charting. I like how you can see the history. Also, I like how the price is the main focus, right at the top of the page, instead of game images and other stuff.

Got my NES set added, this is actually pretty fun! I like being able to keep track of the values more easily, and also being able to see the value of my whole collection. Just my NES collection is worth $877, and I don't have anything too crazy. My most valuable NES game is Mega Man, I didn't realize that one was going for so much ($84). Next up is Zelda (5 screw) at $47, then Mike Tyson's Punch-Out at $41. Most of the games are less than $20 though. I should have done this a long time ago.

How do you even add things to it? The site can only let me search things?

There’s a plus button on the bottom right hand side. Click it and it will give you a couple options like manual add or bar code scan. Once you found the game you click add in the top right. You can batch load too. After you click add you can choose whether it’s loose, case, manual etc.. then click confirm and it will be added.

Finished adding all of my games to VGPC. The total value came out to right around $14,000, much higher than I was thinking. I didn't have any specific games that were worth a ton, just a lot of games worth a decent amount. My top games are:

Pokemon Emerald
Chrono Trigger
Kirby's Dream Land 3
Castlevania Chronicles
Twilight Princess HD (sealed)

The games that surprised me the most were:

Mega Man (NES)
Blaster Master Boy
Sonic the Hedgehog
Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth
Wii Party / Wii Party U

I'm not seeing anything on desktop (webpage)...is it mobile/app only for adding?

Yeah, it’s Android/iOS app. I didn’t even know they had a desktop version, looks bare bones.

クロノトリガー 😋

Chrono Trigger was a fun one. I know that alot of people talk about it, so that can make it sound overhyped, but I think it aged very well. Solid game. Great soundtrack too.

Does it give you a total value for everything you've put in your collection (adding up everything and displaying that as the total value)?

I still swear by CLZ/Collectorz. It's not free but it's got so much flexibility, including prices, sorting, multiple collections, etc.

It does. It gives total value by category e.g. games, systems etc.. and a collection value which is the total of everything.
