Title: Total Collection Value
Post by: burningdoom on November 08, 2013, 02:01:11 am: We have price guide values on items now, right? (Thanks, BTW) Wouldn't it be great to know what the total sum of our collections were worth?

I'm predicting...bittersweet over "great" :o

It will likely be both *satisfying* -and- *terrifying*; me thinks...

Post by: scott on November 08, 2013, 01:18:29 pm: Back when our Stats pages were working, I stopped inputing how much I paid for games. Because the total seemed astronomical. I guess having a total of how much our stuff is worth might be a different feeling.

Post by: brunauss on November 08, 2013, 01:45:16 pm: Total value... hmm. Would probably pay for a new car... or at least a used one. Throw in our truly massive music and movie library and we are looking at an upgraded value that pays for a house new or used easily *laughs maniacally*

Yeah same here. I had inputted the amount I paid on all my games and when I checked the stats page and was shocked to see how much I had paid. I cleared it all out after that, however it did get me out of the mindset that I need to buy all the games I could find and I started to just buy games that interested me.

Post by: teck on November 08, 2013, 07:40:48 pm: Keep in mind that the accuracy of this will be quite low.... I have seen very similar condition versions of The Legend of Zelda CIB end up selling for a nearly $40 price gap.... There WILL be a large margin of error, so even if it is a nice feature for milestone tracking and getting rough estimates, take it with a grain of salt.... That being said.... I really look forward to it....

Just in case anyone is curious, One of the most famous video games The Legend of Zelda NES was fetching a new price of $999.99 back in May.
