Title: What's the best way to price old video games?
Post by: Shostakovich on July 22, 2019, 10:44:00 PM
I'm thumbing through about twenty SNES games I have and I'm just checking Amazon and OfferUp listings. Do I just... look at what everyone else is selling it at? Or is there a Kelly Blue Book for this shit?

Post list

eBay is a better resource for pricing games -> completed/sold listings

seems about right to me, except all-stars. definitely not a $35 game

those numbers seem like the high-end of the scale, i'd go down a few bucks realistically

I'd assume searching Ebay for sold listings is the way to ballpark a price. It's how Ive been flipping my stuff as PAL shit is hard to price otherwise

Congrats for owning a small collection of video game trash.  :doge

Do you have the boxes and booklets? 

Also some items like a bugs bunny game might not be of much value to game collectors but could be to Warner Bros. fans.
Same goes for Disney stuff.
