I received the 2005 Video Game Price Guide from Amazon today. It's put out by videogamecollecting.com. This is the third year in a row that I purchased this book of nonsense and once again I ask the author of this book where I could buy games at the prices listed.
The cover of the 2005 edition says that the prices have been completely updated and he is correct. For instance, here's the price of Commavid's Video Life from last three editions:
2003 - $6
2004 - $40
2005 - $90!
The website has this to say about the book:
"In contrast to other guides and "bibles", the Video Game Price Guides from VideoGameCollecting.com are updated annually to reflect the changing prices of the marketplace. You can be sure when you pick up a copy, that you are holding the best reference you can have to properly value your collection."
Who publishes this joke of a reference guide?
