    I found it to be overall, very low. if you enter games one at a time to see their prices, especially on rare stuff they're way off. They also don't take into account condition or completeness.

    I dunno, I have LESS THAN HALF of my games listed, and they say it's worth $22,000

    If my collection is currently worth $45,000. I will sell it. Right now. Any takers?

    As far as I know, the price is only equal to what you would pay if you bought everything from their gamestore. So alot of the older stuff and even some of the rarer things not on their list will not be taken into account.

    EDIT: look at the two stars next to the price..."IGN Gamestore value for available games"
