Dedicated "What Is This Worth?" Thread

[lost_within]

Depends honestly, just like anything else its only worth what someone is willing to pay. I would pay 300$ for radiant silvergun sealed, some guys will pay 500$. All you could really do is try to get a list of recently sold items then base that on a bulk price. But if you come out with, 1000$ each, most people would probly offer you 600-700 total.

Edit: That price is NOT what I am saying this lot is worth, but rather an idea of how to price and what to expect per bundle price cut that you will normally run into.

Thanks! especially for this site http://www.videogamepricecharts.com/
It's a pity that here in Europe prices are quite higher... Without mentioning that half.com can't ship outside US

You're talking about two different things here. First is, "How much can I get for this?", second is, "How much is my collection worth?"

To address the first, as CRTGAMER said, price them individually. Go to eBay, and modify the search settings to show you recently completed listings and sort by Price: Highest First. The green numbers will show you what someone recently paid for the same item. After all, it depends on what someone is willing to pay for it.

To address the second, I go by the prices listed on RarityGuide.com (Link to NES Page: http://www.rarityguide.com/nes_view.php?t=1285768319). Now, this is by no means the end-all-be-all in pricing guides, but I figure it's a good place to at least get consistent numbers. If eventually you're ever doing it for insurance purposes, it'll help out a lot too. If I were going just off these numbers to sell a game, depending on which game it was, I'd probably reduce this price by 10-25% to list it on eBay.

For example, RarityGuide.com tells me a loose copy of Dusty Diamond's All-Star Softball is worth $41. A recent loose copy on eBay sold for $35.14 + Shipping. That tells me someone is will to pay near $40 for it, so it's reasonable to expect the high-end price to be about $35-$40.

Anyway, hope that helps!

If a seller will not ship international, you could try a US package forward service like www.myaddressus.com.

I am not sure that these are ever different questions...

Thank you so much in advance!

I did a quick entry of your games (excluding doubles and the value of your nes sysem) on my NES Collector app (iPhone) and it shows your collection has an estimated value of at least $314

But anyway, it's all up to you how much value you place on your collection (and what a potential buyer might want to give for it).
