there is no such list for every game/console
if you need a going rate value for a certain game check online, but no one game will maintain the same value each and every day.
example a game like suikoden 2 could sell for £60 today, but only sell for £40 tommorrow, then by saturday sell for £100, it's a supply and demand market

ok well im looking to make a website which offers the cheapest game rates on the market today and im looking on a way of how to look at how much the game is worth to undercut it if that makes sence
like how does a website like this www.retrogames.co.uk set a price for its products ??
i want to make a site like this which sells the games and consoles cheaper than that
i purchased a list for 12 pounds yesterday for most consoles and i been printing it all day lol is it worth me uploading it to you to see it ?

Websites set their prices based on experience and past sales. You're never going to be able to buy an accurate list from someone to use as a universal price guide as prices go up and down every day based on supply and demand as others have noted.

When you search anything, on the left hand side there are options. Under Show Only there is the choice of Sold Listings.

Not sure how accurate pricecharting is, but they've got Retailer level accounts that give you a lot of this information I guess:

That sounds like a recipe for bankruptcy. Your time has value and so does building a business and growing that business. Fair is not necessarily the same as cheap. I believe that you can run a business with fair prices and excellent service and still earn a good profit margin.
