advice on some retro game prices?

[tucks]

hi, i have recently bought a large bunch of retro games consoles and software for what i considered a bargin price. i know by dabbling with ebay in the past some games can make decent money. in this collection im using ebay to gauge prices but some appear to be so rare or obscure i cant find values for them! anyone know of any decent and freindly gaming forums i can use to ask about them?

cheers in advance.

Surely put them on ebay and they'll fetch the correct price?

ive had that back fire a few times. on real obscure games when i have nothing to compare to only a few people seem to be looking for them at any one time and auction price can vary widly for the same games(ive had over 50 pound* variations!). or if you use a "buy it now" you can sometimes end up totally over pricing it and wasting everyones time.
plus im not super intent on selling yet, just wondering how much of decent buy it was. for a collection of games, it wasnt easy pushing the point home to the misses it was worth the money i spent on it!

There you go.
