I love the website as it is. I can't wait to give this a try.

I would like to know this too, before putting many many hours into this.

Any information you add to the site will move over with the production release. I have had some great suggestions that I will be implementing before the final release that will allow for deeper customization and add more detail to the tracker. Right now you will not have these options at your disposal. You are free to add as much data as you want but the ultimate goal here is to test things out so that you can provide me with your feedback so that I can make adjustments before the final release.

Thanks again for all of the kind words so far guys! I believe I have responded to everyone's inquiries but if I happened to miss a message please write me back and let me know. 

Any way you could list the suggestions that you plan on adding before final release so we can have an idea of what's to come?

So I registered for the GVN Collection Beta today, then I get this in my email:



Coincidence? 

Wow that's crazy!!!!!!! GVN is better with prices in my opinion and their tool is extremely clean so far. 
 

Thanks for the access.

No 3DS game support yet?

I've entered around 2200 games so far. Really like it. Just a few things ill PM, but my main question is how does it figure out the price for manuals. Is it a set percent of the a CIB price?

And Pricecharting is now following suit...

Whoops. I was actually missing the 3ds and Switch from the site. Simply did not have them active. They are both now available in the collection tracker :-). Thank you for pointing this out.
 
I can't give too much away but it is based on real data and not a set percentage :-)
 
A little competition never hurt anyone  
 

The import feature is down, and i was having some trouble using it to upload a csv file.

Also, have you thought about having a feature to enter in how much you purchased the game for? So you could track whether you are (overall) spending above or below the market prices?

Also what about having a "Lot Import" function too? For common games I typically buy a lot from eBay and then figure out the individual carts price based on percentage of value (i.e. if I spend $100 on two games that usually cost $150 and $50, I would price them as purchased for $75 and $25). It would be awesome if I didn't have to download a price list, and go through this hassle.

Lastly, have you thought about an app? Right now I have to go to three places to manage my collection. I have the NES Collector app from puregaming.com to track what is in my collection (great for when you're at the game store because it works offline/no signal), I have a spreadsheet that has all of my purchase data (date purchased, price, manual, box, purchase location), and then I go to the internet to get current values for the games. It would be AWESOME if all of these things were featured on your site with a cell phone app to present all the data.

Came to ask exactly this.  I would love to see what I paid in the collection screen next to the GVN's estimated value and a comparison of how +/- I am.  As well as at the top where it totals everything for you (+/- with what the real value is).
 

So far, it has been extremely easy and fast to add in my collection.

Just finished inputting games. Have a few more. It went very smoothly. Would it be possible to distinguish between US vs JAP Neo Geo AES games?

I'd love to test it out and I've got lots of time to kill this weekend. If you already have enough beta testers, any eta on going public?

 



The new import feature is just about finished. After running the beta test, I was able to see some of the pitfalls that were in the previous version of the importer. It will now accept xls, xlsx and csv files so it should be a better user experience.

The feature for entering how much you paid for a game is actually already there. If you go to your collection page and click the edit button on any game, you will see a "Price Paid" input box. Currently, it will only store this information but there are plans to add alot more as far as stats go to the site.
 
An app is definitely something I would like to do but at this time I do not have any immediate plans to start developing one. I agree it would be nice and I will keep in mind that there is interest in one.

I do have a feature that will allow you to mark a game as a variant. You could add a duplicate of the US version and in the "edit" screen write "JP" in the input box labeled variant. 
 
I could always use more beta testers but we are extremely close to going public. I would like to have it open by the end of the day. 

 

I just updated the collection import tool. For those that are on the beta test. Give it a shot and let me know if it is working better this time around.

Added some more to my collection I picked up at Super! Bitcon this past weekend.

An app would definitely be awesome while on the go for quick searching through my current catalog. It would nice to stay updated on the tool development. I understand you may have a lot coming judging by the fact you have more tools in the works.

Do you have a mailing list?

Wishing the best for the public release of GameValueNow.

Awesome man! I'm glad it's working out for you :-)

A mailing list is definitely going to happen. At least for those that wish to be included in it (No spamming here :-)). 

An app is definitely something that I want to do and once the collection tracker is in full swing, I will sit down and re-evaluate where I want to go with the site next. If an app is what is most in demand then maybe I will have to re-adjust my plans a bit.

I'm still working on getting the collection tracker production ready but I feel I am very close and will hopefully have it out in a day or so. I received so many great suggestions that I am trying to squeeze as many in as I can before it goes out.

Thanks again everyone for taking time out of your days to help out on this!

Everything is running smooth so far! Excellent tool man............. I'm impressed at the new features I see when i log in.

I just hopped on there for the first time and I am going to start moving my NA collection info over to GVN. I would like the ability to grade condition tho. Also, cant find a settings button to add notes as mentioned you could do earlier in the thread.

You need to click on the game in question, then click on "Edit". You can add notes in the window that pops up:

That answers all my questions. Im sold! Thx Gloves!

Are you gonna work in a way to price variants, or maybe accessories and systems in the future? If not, we would all understand because of the difficulty...
