FAQ
How the prices on this site are worked out.
Where do the prices come from?
Sold eBay listings, and nothing else. A guide price is the median of the last 180 days of sold listings for that condition, rounded to the nearest dollar. Each comp counts for its total — what the buyer paid including shipping, not the sold price on its own. Asking prices, completed-but-unsold listings and retail prices are not part of it.
Why does a game have no price for a condition?
Because nothing in that condition sold in the last 180 days. A single sale is enough for a price, so a blank means no comps at all rather than too few of them.
A price resting on one sale is thinner than one resting on ten, and the line under each card says which you are looking at. It firms up as more listings land.
What do Loose, CIB, New and Graded mean?
- Loose — the cartridge or disc on its own.
- CIB — complete in box: game, case and everything that shipped in it.
- New — sealed, factory shrink intact.
- Graded — sealed and slabbed by a grading company.
Each condition is priced from its own comps, so they move independently.
How often is this updated?
New sold listings are imported in batches, and every guide price is recalculated from scratch when they land.
Which systems are covered?
Wii U, Switch and Switch 2 at the moment, including special editions and regional variants, which are listed as their own entries rather than folded into the base game. The footer shows how many items are tracked and how many have a price.
What does the price history chart show?
One point per month per condition, and each point is that month’s median total. A month with a single sale is that sale rather than a median, so a lone spike on a quiet line is usually one copy, not a trend.
Do I need an account?
Not to look anything up — search, prices and sold listings are open to everyone. An account only exists so your collection has somewhere to live: what you own, what you paid, and what the guide says it is worth now. It also keeps a watchlist of the things you have your eye on.
Is a guide price what my copy is worth?
It is what the middle copy sold for recently — or, where only one has sold, what that copy went for. Either way it is the honest answer to a question that does not have an exact one. Condition within a grade, region, a rough box, a missing manual, and how patient you are will all move the real number.
Look at the sold listings under the chart before you price anything. They are the actual evidence; the guide price is only a summary of them.
A game is missing, or a price looks wrong.
Both happen. The catalog is added to by hand, and a price that looks wrong is usually a bad comp that should not have been counted — a lot of several games sold under one title is the classic one.
Point it out and it gets looked at, usually with the offending listing removed and the median rebuilt without it.
