    Back on the matter of VIC-20 games, should Cannonball Blitz really be a 7? It definitely isn't as rare as other Sierra games that are 7s like Lunar Leeper or Threshold. In fact, I don't think any of those are as rare as Creepy Corridors which is also a 7 (though I could be biased - that's the only Sierra VIC-20 cart I don't own ).

    I'll be giving both the C64 and Vic20 sections a good look over shortly... when I get time in my schedule! I have seen a few more CBs about so I think it may well drop a point or so. Threshold is already down to a 5 now, more of them spotted about (and I've got two spare to sell!). I agree CC is probably at least a 7, I don't see it much.

    I noticed a few Sega Master System entries with rarities of 75 and 80 (no...seriously). Click "Online Rarity Guide", then type in "11" in the Scarcity box and the ">=" option. After the dialog box pops up that says "Please enter a value between 0 and 10", it'll show the four entries in question.

    Ah nuts, looks like a couple of Dollar/Scarcity values got mixed up there - I'll get it fixed for the next update.

    I can tell you that many rare VIC-20 games are much more common in Canada here....I have found 2 Dot Gobblers (one CIB) plus numerous Xonox double enders...all traded to collectors in the US and Europe

    Hydro Thunder for N64 is definitely not worth $25, I would change it to $12-15 ramge.

    For the Pippin section, anyone wanna form a committee and get that section to have some back bone?

    Late reply but still... the double enders in general are easier to find than the singler enders, that's reflected in the guide. Only Tomarc/Motocross double was that hard to acquire, took me ages and it's only loose (my other three doublers are complete).

    Dot Gobbler is also at the lowest end of the OEM rarity... most of them are incredibly hard to acquire, but this one is a bit easier than the rest.

    ok i read the guidelines & a few of the suggestions i was gonna mention arent as valid except one.

    N64 paper mario u.s. release listed at $26 R3

    with the trends ive been seeing, the rarity should be knocked to a R2 & the price (low end) should be around $15. $26 is the high ends these days & the rarity has fallen because they are all over ebay nowadays.

    just my opinion.

    I don't know if it is just me, but Ren & Stimpy Fire Dogs is every where. And a 7 seems a bit high too. Thanks...

    The Unholy War is definately not a 1, I'd estimate 6-7. Also, not worth a buck either.
    I believe Point Blank 3 had a version that came with the gun.

    Yes, I have the Point Blank 3 combo, I think each point blank came with a gun. But there is a sticker on it that says "not for sale in California"

    One thing I have not seen listed is the Resident Evil Dead Aim Combo. We had one when I worked at EB. I've never seen one since.

    Check the rarity of a PS1 justifier too, I rarely see one on ebay or in the wild.

    Dracula X for Snes has jumped up in price and rarity too.

    When scarcity is 0 it means noone really knows what is the true rarity??
    Maten Densetsu for Sega MD JP. It's about R8-9 nowadays. I've bought the only one from ebay for the last 4 years!

    Do you mean Maten no Soumetsu?

    And R0 means that it hasn't been properly researched and given a set rarity yet, not that it's unknown.

    ups. yes. soumetsu. So i think it is a very rare games nowadays. Actually it is never listed on ebay and rarely pops on YJA for a price of 4500-5000yen.

    Check the rarity of a PS1 justifier too, I rarely see one on ebay or in the wild.

    I checked the master list and i've got all 3 Point Blanks showing that they came w/ GunCons.

    The Dead Aim Combo was not a legitimate bundle. It was just a 3rd party gun packaged with REead Aim. Not to mention that it wasn't bundled by Capcom, but by who made that crappy orange 9mm gun it came with. Fry's Electronics had them for a long time.

    Justifiers are out there, just not all that common. I found an eBay seller about a month ago selling them Boxed new w/ Die Hard for 9.99+ Shipping. You've just got to look around a bit for em I guess.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    Uhhhh Are we thinking of the same game?

    This game is damn common and not worth anything. Theres no reason for it to shoot up to an R6/7. That makes it one of the rarest PlayStation games if that was the case and I can assure you that its not that rare by a long shot.

    I was just thinking that I never really see them, and didn't mean to insinuate them being worth a lot - I know they're not. But I think it's worth more than one dollar.
    EDIT: It was just an estimation based on...horrible estimation skills?

    I noticed that PS2 games now have a rarity #, good job! Speaking of PS2, Time crisis 3 had 2 editions. One with 1 guncon and the other came in a slightly larger box with 2 guncons.

    Brigandine: The Legend of Forsena, I believe is more scarce and rare now than just a 4.
