Hey guys! I am writing to announce that GVN has been sold to GoCollect. We had a great run and I couldn't be happier with what the site was able to achieve. As time has gone on, I have found that I have had less and less time to devote to the site (I have 2 kids now :-P) which is what prompted my decision to sell. I cannot say in words how much I have appreciated the support over the last 4-5 years and to the volunteers who helped out by adding games, providing feedback and aiding with manual updates.



Jeff and GoCollect have big plans and I have no doubt they will continue to push the hobby forward by providing new tools and data for the collecting community. While I do not know exactly what Jeff and his team have planned, I do know that they will be integrating GVN's historical pricing data in with their own. Personally, I am extremely happy knowing that the curated data will be put to good use.



Thanks again everyone for being such an awesome community!

Congrats! I love the site and used to love the app, stopped working on my iPhone and isn't in the App Store any more.

Hopefully Jeff will put good use to what you've built and keep the current level of information free. I'd hate to have to start paying for it now.

I really hope that GVN continues to be the excellent resource it has been for so long. Considering that it was clearly a labor of love, it's a little concerning.

Whoa. I actually was joking with somebody that either PC or GVN would be acquired by GoCollect.

Congrats to all involved. As my favorite pricing benchmark, hopefully it'll stick around and remain as viable as it is currently.

WOW! Congrats Hoagie! The site you built was the best by far and love using collection tracker. I really hope it stays live and I don't lose all my collection on there.... *searching frantically for another source to put my collection on so I don't lose it*
