Hey guys/gals,

New to collecting but not playing........Going for CIB collection of SNES and NES and maybe some gameboy games.  I found this site while looking for boxes.  Was wondering if anybody uses pricecharting for price points to buy and if not what is the better site to use.  I haven't looked around here yet as I have just got access today.  PM me if you have suggestions and I will scour this site because it seems to have quite a bit of information.  Also, any suggestions for trying to find cib.....right now since I am new I have only really used ebay.  I am looking to be able to play my collection as well as display it so they don't have to be in perfect condition, but I would like acceptable to good.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions, and hope to make a few friends in the process.

I prefer Gamevaluenow.com for prices, but the sites are similar. Good luck on your hunt!

Welcome. I'm a gamevaluenow.com user as well. It's my go to for prices for most things though I will double check pricecharting from time to time to make sure the gvn value isn't skewed in some way. Also gamevaluenow has a very nice collection tracking tool.

Also dig gamevaluenow. I think someone in the FS forum has a CIB Star Tropics with letter up for offer if your bid doesn't pan out.

Welcome to NA! I'll look at both GVN and VGPC. It's helpful to have those references.

Last week I got a nice copy of box and instructions for Star Tropics. I already had the cart, looking forward to playing it one day because I've never tried it.

-------------------------

Welcome! Agreed on GVNs collection tool. I like it better than a lot of the others I've tried, I'm in the process of consolidating my collection into there from several other apps.
