I used to have a nice collection of Neo Geo AES games:


Prices starting getting too high in 2011 and I ended up selling them to help pay for my wedding back then. I used the rest to buy a consolized MVS and still have it to this day.

I also used to have this:


I wish I didn't sell this one either!

I used to have the Beast Wars Transmetals N64 boxed, Blockbuster Exclusive, but for the life of me I have no idea what happened to it.

I think just personal gaming hunting experience is better than eBay. Especially if you've spent a lot of years checking flea markets, video games stores, game conventions, etc. I my years of doing that, I know what I see often, what I see less of, and what I rarely ever see. A cataloging website such as VGCollect might also be a good indicator of how common, or rare a game is to have, or a sales data record like VGChartz. There are multiple factors that often give the impression of a game's rarity that often get confused - scarcity, value and demand. I don't really consider a game that's popular to collect, or high in it's admission price, to be rare.

I don't trust eBay, it's been shown before how games can be artificially driven up and hyped by sales prices when someone buys up a bunch of copies and puts them up there for a high price. Plus everyone on there calls every game rare. Rare games, common games, they're always on eBay. Because somewhere, somebody has them to sell.
