I finally after a while decided to use the forums here. Anyway I still haven't added all the games I own but currently it says in my profile my collection is worth an estimated $3,698.15. So how does the site determine how much your game collection is worth?

If you were to sell if your entire collection on amazon or ebay, that's about how much you'd get for it.

So it's based off of what the normal eBay and Amazon prices would be?

Pretty much, the current average selling price of the games on sites like that, anyways.

But not every game in the database has an associated price, they have to insert a value, and some games don't have a price entered.

I've added some games to my profile collection, and the total value never changed.

Well some older games are virtually worthless.

Yeah, check on Amazon. Any old game with it's original packageing is still selling for more than half it's original price used. Even some that are around 13 years old, same story.

If you look on the the right-hand side of your Games page, it will have the info there.
