How to value video games

For games, completeness is the first lever — loose cartridge, complete-in-box (CIB), or factory sealed each sit in a very different band.

Grade (Wata/VGA) then multiplies sealed value sharply, alongside rarity and platform demand for the title.

Assay reads sold prices tracked by completeness and grade, returning a fair value with a confidence range for your exact copy.

Completeness

Loose, CIB or sealed sets the band first.

Grade (Wata/VGA)

Grading multiplies sealed value sharply.
