    Default What is the best Online Rarity/Price Guide?

    In your opinion what is the best online rarity and/or pricing guide? I've been using the one here (DP), but it doesn't ever seem to change. Does anyone know of one that might be more accurate, or do you guys think it's still the best/most relevant...?

    I called Papa John's and asked them what they thought the best pizza place was.

    I wish DP's online rarity guide showed what their suggested prices for complete copies were. They only have their suggested prices for loose. They have complete but I haven't seen a price listed under it.
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    eBay's completed listings, If anything for that particular item sold recently. Average out the price and you've got yourself the current price. Power Blade 2 on NES is a good example, A loose copy can fetch $30 or $40 now.

    Price Charts and the like are, imo, shite. And the people that believe in them... man... I try my hardest not to trade w/ them b/c they always think their games are worth $$$$ and mine are worthless. I'm not sure how it always works out like that using vgpricecharts or whatever, but it always seems to. Of course, a site like that doesn't bother figuring in shipping (on cart only NES titles, that generally adds a couple bucks, for instance), whether the cart-based game is complete or not (they only take cart only prices), or how new the game is (PS3, 360 and Wii games have prices that drop after a month, yet they compile average prices over three months, meaning the "close to MSRP" of a recently released used game price is going to throw off the average and make it seem like the game is worth more than it is).

    If you want to know what something is worth, use completed auctions on Ebay, then check out Amazon and see if they two prices are close. If they are, then there you go. Amazon, tho, can be overpriced if there isn't enough of the game listed (since sellers tend to just undercut each other by a couple pennies), so you have to take Amazon prices w/ a grain of salt.

    As for rarity, DP has the best guide for that.
