A few notes and the rules for the 'What's It Worth' forum
Welcome to 'What's It Worth?'! DP's one stop shop where you can find out what something is worth, as well as show off your finds! Need to know what that game you've got collecting dust is worth so you can maximize teh profits? Make a thread, be as descriptive as possible and let the answers come in. Finds don't have to be limited to games, as DVD/CD/Vinyl/Electronic finds are often posted, but please keep those finds in the monthly finds thread.
A few things to *note*
Threads are not limited to pricing inquiries
If you think that a find deserves a thread, go on and make it. However take into consideration that just getting a few run of the mill games/great pricing score on (insert game title here), tend to not get much reaction. Finds of this nature belong in the monthly finds thread stickied at the top of this forum. Now, scoring that mega rare game for a song, a game lot the size of Montana for the cost of a McDonalds cheeseburger in 1960 tend to get alot of attention, so a thread to themselves is often appreciated as to not clutter up the monthly finds thread.
What is a find
We like to keep what is determined as a find up to you. If you want to show off your new copy of a game that just came out that you paid MSRP for, by all means. Some see finds as anything aquired, others see it as something they scored big time on. Now having said that, please keep your comments on someones find positive. No need to rip them because you got the same item for less. They're happy they got an item, you should be too. Also, be honest. Getting something on eBay, only to tell us you got it from a thrift/garage sale is unnecessary and a slap in the face to everyone. Lying about the amount paid does the same thing. Just because you paid going rate for something doesn't make you a bad gamer/collector. We all pay going rates at least some of the time. We don't think less of you because of it. However we do think less of you once you've been caught and that never ends well for anyone involved.
People love the pictures!
If you have the ability to take em, post em! Not only does it help determine values, but they tend to let everyone experience your finds better. Don't know how to? First get your pictures uploaded to a site like PhotoBucket or Image Shack and then get the image link and surround it by [ img ] url goes here [ /img ] tags (just minus the spaces between img and the brackets).
Thread bumping
This forum isn't like Buy/Sell or Everything Auctions. It moves at a much slower pace, so because of that, please don't bump your thread after 24 hours. If its on the first page, it's still being potentially seen by everyone who's come in here. Especially when it's only a few posts down on the page. If no one responds after a few days, then give it a jolt.
