I am looking for the best source to price my JPS1 and JPS2 games so that I can sell them. I hate the ol' "best offer" sales, so I would like to at least get a price gauge. I typically use eBay, but that wouldn't exactly work in this case. I did get a few prices from there, but the majority aren't listed at all.

Unfortunately Alex of Risingstuff.com hasn't posted his PS1 price list yet or I'd tell you to check it out. His price lists have been pretty invaluable for gauging the worth of import titles. I think he's finished with it too so not sure why it's not posted yet. If you still need one when he DOES post it, I'll let you know. I haven't seen a good place to find prices on that stuff and most online stores really price gouge.

Yeah, that would be cool if you let me know about the risingstuff price guide. I don't mind doing legwork, such as checking completed eBay auctions for US pricing, which is what I do now, but it would definitely be nice to have a quick guide. Is Yahoo Japan still the most popular japanese auction site?

For future reference, the used prices on amazon marketplace japan are a great indicator it seems. It's just like the US in that games that no one wants are selling for 1 yen plus shipping, while the more desirable games are priced accordingly.

I use Amazon.jp to see their price list. Unfortunately, you need to know the Japanese title to show the game you want. Other website like Play-asia is another good source.

I have all the Sony part numbers b/c they're all complete games, so I just web search for the part # and wade through until I find a Japanese web site that has the Japanese game title, copy it out and paste it into amazon. I've searched about 20 games so far and only haven't found 2 I think.

Play-asia is really overpriced, imo.
