Some questions/thoughts that might have already been addressed but it's a long thread so...
Consoles/controllers counting as "carts" is kind of annoying. Maybe an option to do "hardware" or something instead?
Some things are showing $0 value, when they clearly should be more than that. Some of the bigger ones are the original XBox console, the Majora's Mask and A Link Between World 3DS systems, Salt and Sanctuary for Switch, the Mario red joycons and the new Starer Edition of Breath of the Wild on Switch. I'm not quite sure how the value is calculated but I imagine it pulls info on sales from various sites or from Nintendoage, and I'd imagine at least the older items like the XBox and the two 3DS systems should have a tangible value.
There were a couple things I had that weren't showing up (mostly controllers and system variants), but I haven't tried the manual add feature and I assume they can be added to the entire database by doing that?
This one would probably be a huge pain to program and it wouldn't serve me personally at this point, but might make it much easier for future users. The import tool is an awesome idea but it wouldn't register more than half of the games I had for every console I tried. I ended up doing most of them manually and I thought that system was pretty easy to use. But it seems like titles need to be EXACT when they should be more lenient. One that stuck out was I think God of War 2. I can't remember if I used the roman numeral or 2 but it did not catch that.
I also noticed that the error report wouldn't have the correct number of games right, like say 10 out of 29 games were imported when I actually had 30 on the list.
Another thing that could be improved with the importer is the part where you list on the site the column for each item. At first I assumed it would be "A" "B" "C" for the letter corresponding to those columns, but I figured out it was actually the text in the first box of each column that it was looking for. Maybe I was just being dumb but that might be one other thing to make clearer.
I got my entire collection imported into the system, a little under 1000 items and it took much less time than I thought. The quick add feature when adding games is a huge plus for me. Really happy with the site, excited to see its continued growth!
Thanks for the feedback!
The hardware counting as carts should not be happening. I will have to make a code change for this. Thanks for pointing this out!
The $0 value items simply means that we have either not found or approved listings for that item. In the cases above, I simply had not approved the initial listings for those items. That should be fixed now.
As I stated, I really appreciate the feedback! I'll get the hardware -> cart count fixed in the next update.
