I actually did this back in November. I averaged out what my games were actually selling for on eBay (By which I mean I only looked at the sold listings) and what I'd be willing to sell them for if I were to. This is what I got at the time: Nintendo DS: $106.70 GameBoy Advance: $23.68 GameBoy Color: $6 Nintendo Wii: $599.74 3DO: $104.82 (iffy as I could not find pricing on most the sample discs I have) Nintendo GameBoy: $103.71 Atari 2600: $40.16 Odyssey2: $2.98 Intellivision: $179.61 Sega 32X: $124.83 Sega GameGear : $52.14 Virtual Boy: $154.54 Playstation 2: $26.96 Playstation 1: $114.65 Original Xbox: $156.73 Sega Saturn: $171.19 Sega Dreamcast: $208.78 CD-i: $210.96 Turbografx-16: $67.50 Nintendo GameCube: $441.19 Nintendo 64: $352.81 SNES: $736.24 Genesis: $1,139.78 NES: $1,157 Total $6,282.70 But, of course, I have gotten a lot more games since and these are very subjective numbers. I'm not gonna claim this is the real value. But it was fun to do. |

Insurance value My method for pricing my collection was using the prices I found at videogames.pricecharting.com to get the value estimates of loose carts and modern games. For complete games I used a rough average of recently sold auctions on eBay. I entered everything into a spreadsheed, which keeps everything nice and tidy as well as letting me update values easily. Anyone else compiled a list of the values of games/consoles/merch in their collection? I'm curious of other methods we might use to come to accurate valuations of our collections. What about swag and collectibles? Those items seem like they could be much more difficult to pin accurate values on. --- End quote --- I did mine pretty much the same way, using the same website even, for renter's insurance. I have no intention of selling anything from my collection, so it's all replacement value rather than what I would try to sell them for, so for the few repro carts I have, I just use the price I paid for them as their "value", even though if I sold them they wouldn't fetch that much. Likewise with the archival universal media cases I use for my NES and SNES games. And then I keep a copy of the spreadsheet online just in case. I still have to take some pictures sometime, though. |
