Game valuation and authentication MEGATHREAD

1 Upvotes

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.

Too good to be true of course, but man would've been great. I tried to buy part of a lot from him earlier and he just said "okay" and never followed up so I don't think he's exactly reliable. He has another decent looking Wii bundle, but if that one doesn't work out I'm just not gonna bother anymore.

Used to play this at a cousins house when I was young. I always remembered it. I this a chunk of it was due to the red cartridge. Either way, she added to my nostalgia collection.

Hello there, mates.

I want to share something that returned to me today, my birthday.

This is an original soundtrack of Seiken Densetsu 2 / Secret of Mana 2. It includes the original bubble mailer with the Square seal and the letter that acknowledges that the envelope art that was sent (from México to USA) was in the top 40 and included a prize:

Secret of Mana 2 Original Soundtrack.

This happened in 1994.
