Questions about pricing in general...

[thepiratemonk3y]

In the rarity guide it gives prices for all of the games, but it seems like its next to impossible to find any games at these prices. Are these just a general guideline for what to pay at yard sales or something like that?

Also, how do these prices apply at the digital press store? On average how much higher are the prices inside of the store compared to online? Thanks everyone!

I've always treated the guide as a guide for trading values. A lot of the values are completely off, but then many are pretty much bang on (using ebay pricing as the standard)

Here we go again, the guides and database are very outdated, it was released in 2002 so they are going to be off. They are coming out with a new price guide. They DO NOT use Ebay or price games from Ebay.

I've found ebay prices to be pretty standard only if you judge them like...what is it...diving??? Get rid of all the highest and lowest scores and average the rest.

Economics 101- Something is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. No guide can absolutly tell you what to buy or sell something for, only other peoples opinions.
