Guide Idea& Question

[Griking]

I don't know if anyone else would find this interesting/useful/helpful but I'd be interested in a section (or website link) that lists the games that have dropped or gained the most in value since the last guide has been out.

Also, a question about value. I know that game values can be very questionable/controversal, but how can Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the Atari 2600 be valued at only $30? I never see one going for less than $80-$100. Does ANYONE have a copy of the game that I can buy for $30, cause if you do I'd be interested.

We actually considered that UP/DOWN type rating in this edition but like many other things just ran out of time. Perhaps in a future edition.

I recently traded a Texas Chainsaw *loose* for about $30 in value. I've had the game several times over the years. 30 seems low, I'm sure but the entire GUIDE is low. The last thing I want to be accused of (and HAVE been anyway) is inflating the market in any way. Also somewhere in the beginning of the book it should state that prices are a guideline to benchmark other titles in that section and that they should be considered the lowest possible price without insulting the seller. It's a collector's guide, not a dealer's guide. And they hate that :)
