How much is your collection worth?
Posted: Wed May 23, 2012 5:30 am
Decided to make a spreadsheet today of my collection. Mainly because I was curious about how much it was worth, but of course there are a few benefits to making spreadsheets for collectors as well. When your collection gets so big, you might forget that you have something and buy a duplicate by mistake. For example, I forgot I had Shadow Dancer with the box.

I haven't been collecting for too long. Only for a couple of years so far. But I've run into ALOT of bargains.
Also, incase you're wondering how I actually price the "Market Value" I look at the lowest price on both eBay and Amazon for the given item according to its condition, and average both results together. For example, if I want to find out what a complete copy of Sonic 2 is worth, and eBay's lowest price listed is $6 with $2 shipping, then I see it in the same condition on Amazon for $1 with $4.99 shipping I'll just say it's worth $6.
Have any of you done this before? If you have any spreadsheets or documents showing how much your collection's worth, go ahead and share them. If you haven't, then this is a good time to try it.

Also another note, I have no Sega CD, Saturn, or Dreamcast games in that list because all of them are burnt. >_>; I only listed what I actually own hard/legal copies of.
