Hey everyone!

A while ago, I set out to solve a problem many retro collectors face: searching for price estimates of games and always ending up with mixed results that lack clarity or real context.

That’s how RetroGPE.com was born — a website that calculates price estimates based on actual sales, but focuses on distinctions between NTSC regions (Japan, USA), PAL regions (Spain, Italy, France…), condition, and content of the lot.

The idea isn’t just to give you a number, but to try to reflect the exact variant of the game’s price, primarily relying on real sales and listings from specialized marketplaces. And when the system isn’t totally sure, you can help out by rating whether the suggested price seems right or should be adjusted.

Plus, you can use the site to visually register your collection and wishlist, check out what other collectors have, and even get in touch with them.

No registration needed: you can use it as a guest with a daily limit on estimates. If you want, you can create a free account to remove those limits. Registered users can manage their collections and wishlists and help refine prices when the confidence in an estimate is low.

This is a project I’ve developed more as a collector than a developer, and while there are still things I want to polish, it’s fully functional now. I’d love to hear what you think or get ideas to improve it.

If you feel like trying it out or sharing it with fellow collectors, that would be awesome. Thanks!

This website is kind of like pricecharting, but it lacks some platforms and many many games. I don't seem to find rare games, so I believe it still needs some work. But the site looks great, let's see how big it becomes :)

You guys actually sell your games? 🤔
I have never sold any game in my entire life. When I buy a game I make a contract to myself that can't be broken, even if the game is crap and I end hating it, because for me, each one has its own story. When I die, they can be burnt in hell, but as long as I am alive, they will stay with me no matter what.

If I lived in Japan full time I would collect them there, because second hand market is wonderful. I would even travel around nearby asian countries looking for releases of rare games, as flying around asia is quite cheap most of the year :)

Thanks for the feedback! You're totally right — the site is still growing. We're currently focused on polishing the platforms that are already included (fixing some titles, adding rare games, etc.), but more systems will definitely be added over time. I really appreciate your comment — it helps a lot!
 
$59500 for Metal Slug?? It's like 5 bucks on steam
Yeah i know it's different but fucking hell, you need to be insane to pay more than 200$ for a video game
 
That's just too damn much.
These kind of prices test the true collector's and the true dumb people. The formers would never sell it if they bought it when the game was available to the masses, and the latters would buy it for their collection just because it's rare :O
