The first game I inputted into my collection was Ninja Five-O, and it gave me an estimated value of $207, which is about half of what it is going for. What's weird is it says "via pricecharting.com", but that I don't see how they would have pulled that number from PC. Is the price they give for CIB, Sealed, or other?

I inputted it as Cart Only, so I assume that's what it's aiming at.. but PC doesn't list that value for any of the contents so I dunno... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird! Maybe if PC doesn't have a price for cart only, they take the CIB price and cut it in half as a best guess? Or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s a feature they haven’t updated in quite awhile. It’s based off of old data. Honestly I wish they would scrap that feature. Not even Pricecharting or GVN are that accurate, really.

Gloves | 11,824 Administrator · Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 You all have inspired me. I've updated my collection tracker with a "Price Check" button for every game, and as far as I can tell it's entirely accurate up to the second for every game on my site! (prices in CAD cuz I'm Canadian) https://glovesoff.games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Hill | 276 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I use GameEye - great interface and values are somewhat accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,950 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Wow finally an accurate price check on a game listing site, even if it's in igloo bucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the main landing page when you open the app, there are export options under the hamburger menu (list and spreadsheet). I've never tried the cartridge scan myself - only the barcode.

ApebitMusic | 130 Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 Ok, I take it back... Gameye is great! You CAN export as Silent Hill mentioned above. Also, I didn't realize in the cartridge scanner that you have to select the system you are scanning for in the bottom right corner. Now it seems to be working. Sooo, I think Gameye is pretty darn good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,950 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I tried gameeye, maybe it's fine for carts, but it took the piss for when I tried doing non-cart (non console too) stuff. I've got Nintendo Powers and FUn Clubs, Virtual Boy rental carrier, some homebrew, proto bootlegs, multicarts, and other odds and ends it had fits over so I erased it. I really wanted to use it for an easy grab on my phone. That was maybe a year ago I last tried it or 1.5yrs, so has it changed much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trifecta | 235 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I took a look at Gameye and it doesn’t seem to have a website version (supposedly coming soon). I would absolutely need a collection management site where I can use on my computer and my phone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,950 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 True I do remember that now. It took me hours to add maybe 70 NES games and a few other items which is due to the slow way it works. The lacking quality of these apps is why I still basically use a 20 year old HTML style format basic page. Pops up clean on any small device, fast too, but trying to find something specific would amount to knowing where to look then scrolling or the find feature on the browser.
