Possible Shmup pcb and console price guide?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 4:51 pm

Well I have been selling some of my pcbs and some members believe my games to be way to expensive.

I want to know if anyone would be interested in doing a shmup pcb price guide so we can stabalize the market and stop paying outrageous prices.

I think I overpaid for some of my games and I think it would be fair if we had some sort of set price on games.

We could possibly do a console price guide for shmups as well.

Neo Geo has theirs why cant we?

I'm actually tinkering with a shmup price guide and a few other things as we speak...mainly for consoles, though, but if I ever get it off the ground and people like it I might expand to arcade stuff.

That is Awesome

Do you have a rough draft made already?

I would be interested in seeing what you have so far.

Its interesting that you think you overpaid on some of your boards but want to make $50 profit on top of what you paid.

I had the same problem with another member here who overpaid on some cave games and then wouldn't sell for market price.

I too have certainly overpaid on a couple of things but when you want a game and theres non around you sometimes have to up the price. Supply and Demand I suppose.

I think one problem with a price guide is that you and Zak (for example) would MASSIVLY inflate the market.

At this point it's very incomplete; I'm trying to organize it by system, and as of now I'm working mainly on the better-known fairly contemporary systems (PS1 and 2, Saturn, Dreamcast), I'm going to need a lot of help with older and more obscure stuff, not to mention arcade stuff, if it comes down to that. I might post a chunk of it eventually though, just for suggestions.
