    Default Import Prices

    In the online price guide here at DP, I've noticed a lot of import games are listed as a Rarity 0, with no price attached to them. From what I've read in other threads, R0 means the game hasn't been rated for rarity. Where could I go to find prices on imported games?

    your best bet is to watch the games your interested in on ebay to see what they go for...

    Yeah, but a rarity price guide is way more accurate. Ebay is often overpriced, and occasionally under-priced. I usually use guides to base what I should pay for an item on ebay and locally. A guide for HK originals and limited production repros would be cool too.

    its tough really. For example the game wanpaku kokkun no gourmet world would go for over $50 on ebay, but on yahoo japan auctions it can be had for 300 yen....

    someone should put a guide together

    Depends on the system, but for a good portion of the classic systems, Rising Stuff's forums have price guides for. I used them as one tool for assessing the value of my import PS1 games. I also used marketplace prices from Amazon.jp, yahoo auctions japan, and a couple other resources which escape me at the moment. Searching on ebay is great too because you can usually tell which games are worth something/somewhat in demand vs. not in demand at all.
