prices on some of those hard to find games...
« on: June 10, 2009, 03:54:06 AM »
Ok so i know my tg16 hueys and some of the tgcd and duo games when it comes to fair pricing but i am entering a shady area for me on values for these games!!!

Not based on ebay but by the members here what would you consider a fair price to pay for these? just looking for a little direction.
I dont see these a lot so value seems to be fairly wide open at times and i am finding i dont even know what to offer at times :oops:

Beyond Shadowgate
Dungeon Explorer II
Dynastic Hero
Godzilla
Might & Magic III: Isles of Terra
Super Air Zonk: Rockabilly-Paradise
Terraforming, Syd Mead's

I think tats and others have suggested a members price guide but really if the PCE forum was the place that everyone would go to check on a fair value for a TG16/Pce game i think we could help the market. Yes ebay is a differnt beast but when someone links an auction saying "look how much it is worth" we can link our price guide and show them there wrong!!!  its a wet dream i know :P

the idea was dejected by some, with the argument of being impossible to realize!

Here's my take on their values (assuming complete and in good shape):

Godzilla - $50
Dynastic Hero - $250
the rest of 'em - $100 each
U.S. Collection: 98% complete    157/161 titles

This is good to know for myself too- so a US Godzilla is within my price range?  I always figured it was out of reach and that I'd need the Japanese one...

Maybe so.  The last ones I remember seeing on ebay went for $75 or thereabouts, so I'd say that $50 would be a pretty fair value for one outside of that loony bin.

Obviously, they're all worth $400.   :dance:

OK, just kidding.

Dynastic Hero sold for $350 on Digipress last year, otherwise I agree with Necromancer's outside-of-ebay prices.  A little more for Super Air Zonk and a little less for Might and Magic.  Beyond Shadowgate occasionally goes for less than a hundred even on ebay.  Sometimes the '97 Dungeon Explorer 2's with gimpy photocopy manuals can be found cheap.

This is good to know for myself too- so a US Godzilla is within my price range?  I always figured it was out of reach and that I'd need the Japanese one...

Prices for Godzilla have always been very erratic on ebay, I've seen them go anywhere from $40-200 over the years.  Outside that realm they've always been cheap, don't pay more than $75.

Beyond Shadowgate $80 - $100
Dungeon Explorer II $80 - $100
Dynastic Hero $300 - $400
Godzilla $40 - $60
Might & Magic III: Isles of Terra $40 - $60
Magical Chase $80 - $125
Bonk 3 CD $60 -$80

These prices don't exclude eBay, as I've seen these games often sell at these prices and lower during periods that they were considered to go for more or less as much as the ever have. Feel free to cut a chunk off if taking eBay out of the equation.
