    Default Need help with a value

    I have been trying to value this magazines for ever. I am trying to value my whole collection, but I ca't find a good value for these:
    Nintendo Power Issue 24-60
    Game Player's Strategy Guide To Nintendo Games Issue 1-9

    If anybody can help I would be very happy. Oh, I also can't find values on my computer games, but I guess that would be harder to make a list of. Anyway, please help.

    I'd say it would all vary depending on condition.

    The Nintendo Powers in mint could maybe get $8 - 13 a piece. In worse condition probably less than $5.

    The Game Players strategy guides probably aren't worth more than $5 - 7 each, but if they are for a popular (or cult classic) game then the value could go up.

    As for computer games...I haven't the foggiest!

    Honestly if got half that amount I'd consider him lucky.

    I agree. From everything I've seen they are worth perhaps 1-2 dollars per issue.

    It's really only the first 2 years of the mag that fetch any money.

    Thanks guys, I guess I will count them for a buck a piece to be conserative. I though the NES Strat giulds would be worth more becouse they are most likely much more rare, but there is also so no demand for them a guess. I can't even find them on the web.

    I'd agree with that. I won an auction a while back that had a bunch of NPs with a whole bunch of other stuff - the NPs were dupes from my own collection. When I ebayed the dupes in lots of 10 a piece, I usually got around $0.50 to $1.50 a piece - of course, you'd have to factor the shipping in with that, but the NPs really aren't worth a whole lot.

    You guys are probably right. I was just thinking if someone needed those issues to complete a collection. It really is just luck of the draw though.
