Free quick check price guides.
Hey guys. I was at the thrift store today. I saw some bland titles id never really heard of, and I also found some kool stuff, like a Factory sealed Tecmo Super Baseball for $3.00 . When I got home I was wondering, if maybe some of those bland titles I hadnt recognized could be really rare games. Since I really dont know what alot of the really rare games are outside of NES, I could easily ignorantly pass up a $100 game. I decided I needed some better way then to rely on the knowledge off of the top of my head. So I made up some nice little charts to carry around with me. They are basically the most valuable 100 games for each system, in alphabetical order with prices for NIB, CIB, and loose. They are in Excel format, so you can load them in your Palm or whatever. I dont have one so I just printed out my charts, and ill put them in a folder in my car when I go game hunting. Therefore ill call them "Hunter Guides".

Sega Genesis http://www.geocities.com/vreelandteodoro/GenesisHunter.xls
Super Nintendo http://www.geocities.com/vreelandteodoro/SNESHunter.xls
The research in the price guides is not my work. I do not have resources or know how to accomplish something like that. I have simply converted them into a sortable excel document for portability, and arranged the games alphabetically only including the most valuable 100. The major efforts were done at RarityGuide.com and they deserve all the credit.
I will not be doing an NES Hunter list for the simple reason, that the most accurate and up to date list will always be here on Nintendo Age. If you want a sortable NES excel document all you have to do is pm an administrator and send some pocket change their way.

This is pretty cool.
Definitely gonna download and check 'em out.
They have prices for GBA, GBC, Gamecube, NES, Neo Geo, N64, SNES, DS, PSP, PS1, PS2, PS3, Sega CD, Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, Genesis, TurboGrafix, Wii, Xbox and 360.
While their prices aren't necessarily spot on by any means, you can still do a sort on the "90 day price" in descending order and watch the most rare games float to the top.
For example, these were the top 16 results for NES:
Nintendo World Championship $4260.00
Family Fun Fitness Stadium Events $860.00
Peek-a-Boo Poker $690.00
Hot Slots $538.98
Bubble Bath Babes $453.00
Cheetahmen II $325.00
Flintstones Surprise at Dino Peak $320.02
Caltron 6-in-1 $159.37
Challenge of the Dragon $154.44
Action 52 $117.50
Bubble Bobble Part 2 $115.00
Little Samson $89.99
Top Loading Nintendo NES Console $64.99
Death Race $57.50
Bonk's Adventure $49.99
Snow Brothers $49.99
While the results aren't spot-on, and the list isn't completely accurate (Death Race shows up but no Myriad), it's still a lot of information available at one mouse click.
I have some comments for another user but will refrain in interest of not destroying another thread
Yeah, that site is nice. Ive looked around a few times when I couldnt find something. The purpose of my list though, is its portability. Its an Excel document you can transfer from device to device. Also the most valuable 100 games are in alphabetical order. This means you dont have to stand there for 10 minutes trying to see if the game is worth picking up, you dont have a giant list to look through, and the list is in A-Z order, unlike if you sorted VGpriceCharts games by price. If you have internet access on the go, and have the time to load up their webpages, then I certainly recommend doing that, for a complete list.
Very true, but you could always just take those VGC charts and put them into .xls format too if you want to be "complete"
PS - If you use "TableTools" add-on in Fire Fox, you can copy that VGC top Price list by using Cntrl+Z, then sort in Excel alphabetically and be done in a jiffy. I'd highly recommend "Table Tools" to anyone who uses Excel on a regular basis, as you can copy any table in any format directly to Excel and not worry with all of the data showing up in one column or one cell! VERY convenient....
