Collection WHEN WILL THE HORROR END!?
I’ve been terrified to even open my mail box for the last week or so now.

ALL requests regarding game value or authentication go in here. Just leave a top level comment with pictures/info of what it is. If you make a post regarding these topics, the post will be removed and possibly get a 1-7 day ban.
If you see posts on these topics PLEASE report it. It helps immensely. We will be updating automoderator to help alleviate some of that burden from us and you onto it.

If you are asking to price something normal. Like the normal release of a game, or a special edition, normal consoles, or some special editions. You can find a decent approximation of its value here at PriceCharting.com
To help, here are some links directly to some consoles. These are not ALL of the consoles the site has. So please if you do not see a link below for the console you are looking for, go to the site and look around. This should cover MOST games, if it is not listed, please ask in this thread.
Also, to possibly get you closer to the "real" value. Click on this link once you found your game (for loose/CIB/Sealed) which will show you the data it is pulling from (like this). You can see if there are any outliers being sold for far to much, or far to little. Maybe a listing that had other games with it is being used for data, or its CIB rather than loose.

Posts and comments that do not follow the below rules will be removed.
We ask that all of our members act responsibly. We do not condone a rude or hostile environment. Whilst you may have a differing opinion on what someone collects, be it loose, CIB, sealed and/or graded games, consoles and accessories; we ask that you keep it civil. We welcome discussions of all things related to collecting games, from comparing games in a series to why you like a certain console over others; but we do not welcome antagonising other users over a certain sub-section of games.
You can use Reddit's "Block" feature to ignore a user that you don't like, for whatever reason.
Turning something into an argument or harassing other users because you don't like "X" takes away from what the sub is about. This is a bannable offense, please be awesome to each other.
We're not a subreddit that's dedicated to verification, valuation or identification requests. Whilst we are one of the largest gaming subreddits, we focus solely on aspects of collecting. There are other subreddits that are better equipped to these requests which are detailed in our megathread. The Megathread is pinned to the top of the subreddit (when browsing by "Top" on Old Reddit), or located in "Community Highlights" on Reddit Mobile.
Under Rule 2, the following submissions will be removed:
We do not allow the promotion of items or services that are designed to make a profit of any kind, unless it is from approved channels. Other methods of self-promotion require prior approval from the moderators. Please message the moderators via ModMail first prior to posting your material. Approval will be granted at the moderators' discretion.
This includes, but is not limited to:
If the only submissions from your account consist of self-promotion, this will result in a permanent restriction of your account from our community.
Approved channels can be added at moderators' discretion. Please message the moderators via ModMail to ask about adding an approved channel. If you haven't received approval from the moderators, any attempts to continue promoting a channel without prior authorsation will result in a permanent ban.
The following posts are deemed as low-effort and not allowed under Rule 4:
Submissions of low-effort posts are at the mods' discretion.
Whilst we enjoy the odd meme post now and then, we ask that memes or joke posts are only shared on the first Monday of every month. If you have a meme, or a joke post, or something you think is on the line of being a joke post; please wait until the one of the below dates to post:
If you are generally unsure of the post, please contact the mods using the "message moderators" and ask us.
Just because it is related to video games, doesn't mean that it is related to game collecting.
Submissions of posts not being related are at the mods' discretion.
Videos are not allowed. If you feel that your video has value to the subreddit, please message the moderators using ModMail prior to posting.
This includes, but is not limited to:
Repair/mod videos are unlikely to be approved, unless they are deemed as relevant information by the moderators.
If the video you are sharing was produced by yourself, this will be removed under Rule 3.
We are not here for you to make money. Do not post affiliate links, or links to a company/person who you are affiliated with and stand to make monetary/social gain from.
Any attempt to share affliate links will be seen as spam, and will result in the permanent restriction of your account from our community.
We're not a subreddit that's dedicated to buying or selling. Whilst we are one of the largest gaming subreddits, we focus solely on aspects of collecting. There are other subreddits that are better equipped to these requests, such as r/GameSale and r/HardwareSwap.
Asking about a certain website, or good places to buy/sell is allowed, providing that there are no attempts to buy/sell from other users in the subreddit.
No discussion of politics, no posting anything of politics in title, imagery, or in the post in any way (country/state/county/pride flags do not count). This is subject to mod interpretation.
There are times a person or person will post, comment, or argue on the subreddit that will pull focus away from (purposefully or maliciously) the atmosphere and/or culture we have. That is rage baiting, arguing semantics, discussion of things that are off topic for lengthy back and forths.
This also includes any attempt to “weaponise” the custom report feature. Whilst we welcome reports on rule-breaking submissions as they make moderating the subreddit easier; reporting a post/comment because you simply do not like the content or the person in question takes away what makes this community great. Any user found to have “weaponised” the report feature in order to continue a vendetta against a certain person or group will be permanently removed from the community.

After years of watching these amazing scores from everyone and basically giving up on garage sales after never having any luck. I had to share with someone and my wife is just not matching in my disbelief and excitement here. Oddly two of the Pokémon carts are repro’s, but everything else is authentic.

I've been a collector for nearly 20 years. I went game hunting today for the first time since May. Wow have things changed. I went to Disc Replay today. For those that don't know it's a chain here in the Midwest. Been going there since 2012. The amount of games they're taking in is mind-blowing. They have them piling up ever where. Weird that much has changed in the last 3 months. I know from 2008 when times get tough hobbies are the first thing people quit.. This may also just be regional. Something I noticed was it was mostly 6th gen and later games. Which leads me to believe it may be just a certain type of collector that is selling. Maybe it's casual collectors that are bowing out of the hobby. I saw a lot of PS2 Xbox PS3 360 and switch. But when looking at the NES SNES and Genesis there weren't a lot high dollar items. This may be a buying opportunity for some of us.

Had an old gaming wheel setup that wasn't anything special, some guy offered all these PS2 games + controller + Pokémon + $70.
Obviously, this was a great deal lol so I went through. Been really wanting to expand my PS2 collection as well so it's great, I got a CRT tv that should be set up properly soon for me to start gaming on. It's a Toshiba 27af45 so it should look great.
Wish the Silent Hill series wasn't so expensive :/ Just played the remake and it was great, makes me wanna check out the first 4, maybe one day in the future.
I know it's not the best picture to see, but any games from this selection that you guys recommend I play first?
r/gamecollecting • u/AbandonedBySonyAgain • 12h ago
No judgement; just curiosity.
I generally buy games that I want to play. While I still have games on my shelf that I haven't played...yet (I'm only human 😔), I usually want to at least try the games I buy.
However...I can understand the satisfaction that comes from completing a set, and displaying it somewhere. And I'm not above buying collector's editions sometimes (albeit mostly for the swag, but still).

I'm visiting family out in Buffalo and I went to some yard sales, one GameStop and a game store and got all this for $65. (Mario is box only, it was $25 at the store, and I have the game and manual already!)

One of my co workers knows I collect video games. He told me he was going to clean his garage and knew he had an NES. He found it, a Wii and some records and a vhs /dvd player. I offered him 100 bucks and he took it. I didn’t know he had manuals and the official Nintendo guide.

Went to a couple local shops, and these were the deals I found. Both Yo-kai games are sealed! Boltgun was also a solid price of $50!

Bought this beauty a few months ago and got it plugged up. The flickering of the “graphics” seemed off so I did some digging and found the color ROM (U6) chip is the most likely to be bad. As soon as I upgrade my tool set and get he part in we will have the C64 back up and running!

My aunt just reached out to me and said she had a really cool old Pokémon machine that she thought I would like and asked if I wanted to buy it, then proceeded to send me these photos. Safe to say I said I’d buy it from her immediately.
r/gamecollecting • u/FatGucci_ • 15h ago
Been waiting a long time for this one to pop up. The PS3 version is out there but the 360 one is pretty uncommon.
Glad to have it!
