ydcl Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hi all, I've always used http://www.rarityguide.com/nes_view.php to check for games prices. I looked up my PS2 Metal Gear Solid 2 and it says that CIB it's worth around $38; but if you go on EBay it's less than $10. Same for many other games. Is there a rarity guide that is reputable and accurate? Cheers, Yan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xDragonWarrior Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I don't trust it also.I noticed alot of PS2 prices on the website is nowhere close to what they are listed for currently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Take with a grain of salt the rarity and or value that is listed by any Rarity Guide for any and all systems seeing as things are always in such a state of flux. Best bet is too do some diligent homework on any item before purchasing it. I maintain a Collectors Rarity List for the ColecoVision & ADAM Computer and one of the first things I state is that rarity values are always changing and there is no way to constanttly update them in the list all the time. It's a hobby afterall, not a full-time job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopia Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Same with the Intellivision guide which although it's a bit out of date there are patterns that give you a fairly good idea to know if you are chasing a rare game or not and prepare you for a possible high price, however there are always times when something that is supposed to be hard to get pops up cheap and no one is bidding on it.

icemanxp300 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Rarity guide is over priced but I do like seeing what rarity level they give games for shits and giggles. However it does appear that the price ratio from cart to boxed to sealed is on par pretty good. So say they say a cart is $20 and a boxed is $60 and a sealed is $120 in reality the prices may be more like $10 $30 $60 but it's good if you know what a boxed goes for it helps you determine a better value for say a sealed game that doesn't show up much.
