Title: pricing out my collection Post by: A8scooter on December 08, 2015, 01:46:18 AM I'm using a mix of video game price charter and ebay to price things out . Kinda interested in knowing for insurance purposes and also kinda wondering in general. Anyone have success with doing this. Any tips and I'm working through this process?
Title: Re: pricing out my collection Post by: Izret101 on December 08, 2015, 10:42:48 AM Take an average from recently sold auctions.
It is the most accurate way since you can match condition to value better than by strictly using a site that compiles generic sale numbers. Even still there are always random outliers. I think price fixing on ebay is much more common than people want to believe.

For insurance purposes, your collection is only worth what you want to cover it for. When I made an insurance claim, the insurance adjuster went on eBay and took the lowest price he could find, so expect that if you have to actually make a claim. I was able to actually utilize VGPC, back when it first launched, to show average costs.
Take photos to show the condition and contents (e.g. box) so that you can haggle on the claim.

But yeah I plan on doing pics and showing how complete each game is. Cover all bases. 8 out of 59 sections left to do
