How do you have 241 Jaguar games?  You must have every homebrew ever made!  (BTW I did chuckle a little at the 8 Amico games. Do they really count?)

I do have every homebrew release for the Jaguar, including variants.  As for the Amico, well I do have them, so I keep them listed.  Unfortunately, there's no system to play them on!

I think those Amico games (even with just paper in the box) are going to be collectors items.  For a system that never came out, it sure is a topic that never dies. 

Anyway, TrekMD, your collection is an inspiration.  We have a lot of good ones here.  Nice stuff!

Unrelated but I have noticed that the market on the games is now coming down. My collection is now showing a -10k value from where it was a year ago. Some games in my collection for the Saturn for instance that were at or near $1000 have dropped as much as 40% of where they were currently. 

One example is my CIB of Magic Knight Rayearth. I bought mine like 6 years ago for $250. It came with the Saturn game including the full sticker sheet and also came with the JPN Saturn release of the game and the JPN Game Gear version of the game that was NIB. Just about a year ago the US Saturn release of the game was about $800 on its own and during the middle of the pandemic it was nearly $1000. Now it's value has dropped to around $600. 

But on the opposite side of that, some of my SNES CIB games have gone up quite a bit! So who knows? I don't mind either way because I did NOT pay for the prices that any of my games are currently showing their value at.

OH! I am surprised to see that the Atari XP releases for Aquaventure, and Yar's Return have gone up as well. Aquaventure is currently showing a value of over $200 with Yar's coming in at over $150?! Saboteur isn't showing up yet as I guess there isn't any sales history for that one yet. It just shows a "?" for value on Gameye at this time.

I'm assuming this is because they were limited releases and not currently available? Wonder what some of the others will get up to in the future then?

Thank you!  Those Amico games are part of video game history, as far as I'm concerned.  🙂

Pertinent to this discussion, and as a result of reading about it in the recent Old School Gamer issue, I spent a good chunk of time duplicating my listing into a Collectorz.com database. It's a pretty slick little deal with the batch importing via barcode scanner!  There's plenty of tools and data analytics available via the desktop site access, but there's a lot to be desired from the mobile site access.  Anybody else tried this?

A good chunk of my weekend was spent digging through boxes and organizing shelves in conjunction with this endeavor.  While not totally firmed up on a couple of the categories (Xbox and Switch), it gives a relatively overall accurate representation.

Which gives rise to the neat feature of being able to share a boiled-down version of the listing with others!

Ultimately, I just can't let go of my master Excel sheet, though.  This is a great tool, but I'll resort to my spreadsheet as the authoritative listing!

I still use my Excel sheet and I have it stored to the cloud but that page looks neat.  Is it free to use?  Can an Excel sheet be uploaded for the site to populate?

There is an import/export tool which accepts/generates .csv files, so some data massaging was required for that - but it did indeed work.  It's evidently $40/year, which is, err, quite a bit for a database tool.  I'll be re-evaluating this in approximately a year from now, ha!

CLZ runs a sale on their subscriptions during Black Friday, so take a look around then if you're interested. I believe they discount the subscriptions by 50%.

I bought their app for Games and Movies many years ago before they switched to the subscription model. While I don't get the latest features, I have all the essential functionality that I need, so I haven't switched to the subscription.
