congrats on the sale. Hopefully the new ownership will keep the collection tracker, it's my favorite to use.

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!







I really appreciate what you have done with GVN through the years and am selfishly sad that you will no longer be a part of it. Congratulations on the sale, though. You deserve every penny, if not more...

Maybe now we can get false sales removed, and CIB prices out of loose (and vice-versa) when they're reported.

Congratulations!

Got any of these for sale? Sell them to me. I also buy other NES Publisher inserts, and even GB/GBC, and SNES inserts too.

I can't believe this. I was actually considering reaching out to you today or tomorrow to see if you wanted to sell or would license the data for a project I'm scheming up that needs consistent price values. Jeez, I'm not agitated at you or anyone but I wish I had known... I would have made an offer.

Good for you (and GoCollect). If for whatever reason the deal falls threw, feel free to PM me.

As someone who provided a ton of feedback on the collection beta in the past, and as someone who currently uses it as their primary game tracker, I have two things:
1) I fully support getting the added dev support on the project.
2) If anything happens to my collection data I will be the saddest of sad pandas.

I asked this of the old owners and they didn't have the time to dedicate to it, I'm hoping the new owners can help me out. I wrote an Android application for tracking game collections and I was wondering if GameValueNow could provide me with an API I can hook into to get live game pricing for my application. Is this something that's possible?
