When searching games on Pricecharting does the complete price include turbo boxes or is it just the CD case?

Don't use pricecharting and delete it from your browser history.

Much more accurate than that over priced crap.

Thanks, is this what everyone here goes by?
Also are his prices just the loose cards or is it complete with case?
-
All you can really go buy is the latest retail price of the games before turbo was pulled off the shelves entirely.
Most of them were $5-10 sealed, so open CIB and loose would be less.

Complete minus the cardboard box. But seriously though, those are the prices you should go by not e-bay.

I guarantee "gamedude" is not selling a loose Magical Chase for $199.
-
These totally look like "bro" prices. I'd be surprised if anyone would be willing to sell their games here at these prices any more :(
-
We don't use price guides here.

If these prices are real (which I know they aren't), I would buy dynastic hero for 179 and magical chase for 199 all day everyday.

This is always a subject for debate. Some say pricecharting/gamedude/ebay completed (burn in hell) and random other things. I doubt there will ever be a definitive price guide as there is too many factors to have to look over for every individual item (label/cart/pcb condition, loose/cib/ cic with spine, cic, astral glide compatibility and JO crystal bro worthiness to name a few.
-
Not sure why GameDude even has that price list on there as it says "Call for current prices". I wonder how old that list is.
-
I went in to Game Dude about 6 months ago. He really does sell those games at those prices. Even if they're still sealed. That is a no-bullshit place. You walk in, and there is a rack full of printed-out versions of those price sheets so that the games themselves don't need price tags. So if that's what the price says on the sheet, that's what you pay. Obviously he didn't have a Vagical Chase in there or I would have bought it, but he had a decent selection of Turbobs.

Why would you pay so much for them?

My point exactly. :) Hell I got the 3 in 1 gate of thunder disc for $9... back in 1998. :P
-
Game Dude sounds like a pretty awesome store. I guess that list is legit then. I wonder how often they update it.
-
for prices, it may seem lame but i use ebay sold listings to average out a price for a game that i want and try to pay a little less than the lowest sold listing.

You forget stars lining up just right. I've seen 2 similar eBay listing end up over $100 apart because one listing had shit title, shit description, and shit picture that didn't attract many bidders or listing that ended at shit time. Or even when eBay crashes when the listing is down to the last few minutes, blocking snipers.
-
To be somewhat on topic of pricecharting. I typically look at the loose price on there. If I can get a CIC copy shipped for that price I feel I've done a good job shopping and it isn't that far off from the game dude's prices. So I guess go by either but some of those gamedude prices are serious suspect and it seems it is usually the ones that are pricier.
-
When selling I'll use sold ebay auctions to gauge a general range for a particular game and then try and price my stuff at about 75% of whatever I found. Bro's get better deals than that.
Bottom line there is no good guide out there.
-
Forget charts and spreadsheets, pay what you are willing to pay. If it's too much, then the seller will lower his price of find someone who wants it more than you.
Collectards use pricecharts as validation for their pathetic lives.
-
When I shop. I just remember the game when new was $50 or less. So if it is a loose game, no manual or case then I figure if it's one I want no more than $25.
If it's a complete game with no box then I will go up to $50 if I really want it.
If it' CIB I honestly don't care for cardboard so I will go with a cheaper complete without box first.
If it's CIB and sealed well, I just move on as that's just a collection piece.
I want to play my games and I want to play them without going broke. I enjoy the old games still but I am just one of those people not willing to shell out a house payment for a game. Unless it's several games all at once. :)
-
I am there with you. I wouldn't buy a sealed game because I would just rip it open to play it.
-
I buy sealed games and open them. Nuttin' wrong with that when the price is right.

Yup, same here. It's fun.
