Well, the NGPC Price Guide has been finished and is now on-line here at Neo-Geo.com. It can be found HERE
Some notes on the page. It includes all releases in the UK, US, and Japan, but at the moment does not include variants such as the cover variants, the supposed US hardcase versions, or any bootleg multicarts. In the near future, hardware such as the limited edition boxsets, slimlines, and some accessories will also be included.
Some games have not been seen for sale in literally years and as such are not priced. Very few of these though.
Data for this guide was gathered from on-line sources such as eBay, retailers, and also some of the long-standing NGPC forum members. The price ranges are best estimates using the most data, but also common sense. In other words, the high price for CardFighter's Clash 2 is not $250, even though one sold for that much. In the future, updates will be made based on trends and not on single sales numbers. If 3 Gals Fighters UK are sold for $80-100, but one goes for $150, the range will be $80-100. Extraneous low and high info will be taken with a grain of salt as you would hope.
Please feel free to send me any sales data you can, but please substantiate any numbers with at least a link to the auction, sales page, or whatever. Also, if it's a private sale, please have the seller and buyer e-mail me. But only send info if it's outside the current price range.
A note about the rarity category. This is based on occurance AND perception. The UK data is fairly accurate, since the most data is known about those sales (highest volume and also several UK members have assisted in this). A new rating has been created, Perceived Rarity (PR). This means that the game seems to be rare, but it is probably just a swing in sales volume. Is Puyo Puyo really rare? No, lots of people have it, but it's rarely available. Is Pocket Reversi rare? You bet. It's very rare, but how many exist? Definitely more than Euro Kizunas..... Perceived rarity is the term used for games where the rarity is seriously in question due to inconsistent supply and demand.
One last note: This is a GUIDE. I know there's bound to be some wailing and gnashing of teeth over the creation of said guide, but this is meant to give people an idea of what's out there. You'll note that the prices on it are very reasonable and along the lines of current sales. I'm a gamer and collector myself and have really nothing to gain by making the prices jump. This will help answer lots of questions people have, but also should hopefully bring in some new People of the Pocket!
let the discussion begin.
