Don't know if this can go here?

The database has 0's? I am kinda new here and don't understand what that means? I found 3 Japanese PS1 games today and was wondering there rarity. They would be:

Mobile Suit Gundam
Star Gladiator Episode:1 Final Crusade (Capcom)
New Japan Pro-Wrestling(Tuokon Retsuden) by TOMY

Are any rare. I did find the prices on Ebay and am not interested in this. But I do understand that rarity can drive prices. So I know the wrestling one is the most expensive. Does that mean it's the "rarest"?

Any help would be cool!
ps. they are nice and complete:-D

0 means DP 's rarity hasn't been established for the title due to insufficient data.

If you "found" Japanese games in California, they're likely not rare, perhaps just common titles. The hard-to-find Japanese stuff usually didn't make it's way out of the country, and (again, generally) those who have them stateside know they've got something valuable.

Also, we have an import forum for things like this. (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=25)

Nope. None go for more than $5-8 and thats being generous. Back in the day the Gundam and Touken Retsuden games were getting $10-30 each but those days have long gone. Most of the high cost Japanese import PS1 games have significantly decreased in value over the years. The best example is Tobal 2, a superior sequel that never got released outside of Japan. Around 2002-2004 this was going for $50-70. Today it can be attained for $10-20.
