Oddly..I came upon your channel, with your ‘lot pickup videos’. I don’t usually watch those videos, but there is something relaxing, and soothing about your ‘LONG FORM’ videos, that make it easy to watch/close your eyes and listen. Saw you on the ‘SpawnCaste’ nearly a handful of times. I watched ALL your new home/setup STUFF. Great conten! MUCH appreciated. I have a family, and I work a full time job, and part time job. FREE time is in short supply, so… I greatly enjoy creators who ‘respect’ my time, and make the best of it. THANK YOU SIR!

[@FreakinSweet1987]

Looking at your collection, I was *positive* it was going to be worth more than mine. I have about 786 games currently accounted for before updating recent pickups, and it's valued at around $26,000. Though I attribute that to the heavy hitters like Sculptor's Cut, Klonoa, etc.

[@joeyisabsb1]

Yeah, im only at 524 and it values at 20k. He has almost double my games and yet our values are the same? I mostly have playstation as well. Maybe his heavy hitters aren't as heavy as mine and that's why since in my top 5, even my number 5 is higher valued than his number 1. Still, something seems off to me and I feel like his value should be higher.

[@Uzukii]

Every time I see somebody with a huge game collection, I both envy them and get a sense of anxiety. If I had such a collection I'd be in a state of constant paranoia and fear of losing it to a break-in, a fire, a flood or other natural disaster.

[@FunkyGhostHD]

You even need to hold them in decent condition, like in a room with decent ventilation. I've seen some some people's games getting "molded" nothing too disgusting but definitelly something to look at. Humidity might be the biggest cause of that.

[@ItsMrCatelli]

Get collectors insurance

[@JimsGameRoom]

As an Australian with games from my region as well as sooo many games from the US, PAL, JP and Asian territories due to not as many games getting local releases, this is sooo hard to do for me even somewhat easily which is a shame! Great stuff though, I love this kind of content!

[@6reen6uy]

Can’t imagine living abroad and only wanting NTSC versions. I’ve seen someone who has and I feel your pain.

[@Gr00t]

@@6reen6uy I did that for a while but gave up due to shipping from the US being so expensive, now I just collect the PAL versions more for display and burn a copy of the NTSC version for use with modded consoles and slip it inside the manual of each game. The only console I still get NTSC copies for is the N64 cause I obviously can't burn cartridges lol.

[@suppengroove]

​@@6reen6uy as german: at least for the console gens that actually had the big flaw of pal & ntsc. the american games were a) in a readable language and b) not unoptimized 50hz garbage. especially our later crts were 60hz compatible, so imagine playing games in letterbox mode and optional for some games c) not censored. it was for example pretty hard back in the days to get the uncensored alien trilogy ps1 version from the uk

[@darthv72]

GAMEYE is hands down the best collecting app on the market. CLZ had to make some changes to try and be as good as GE and yet still charge people for the basic stuff. GE is FREE... can't argue with the price. And I believe you can imports your CLZ list into GE. Jak IV shows up in GE as $124 for CIB and $161 for sealed. GE has cart scanning so you can breeze through NES, SNES, Genesis, GB, GBA, GBC by just having the app look at the cart label (if not CIB).

[@shadowking141ghost]

that’s what i use too

[@iamthomasjudge]

I think a useful way to view the final figure here is not to consider it as 'what the collection is worth' but more 'what the collection would cost to buy or replace '.

[@LDJ89]

Wow blast of nostalgia, I spent so many hours building incomplete coasters on Sim Theme Park growing up.

[@washbrook]

Great to see the full physical collection at last! Now do the same for your digital titles (non-subscription based). 🎉

[@PlayStationAintDead]

I just started using CLZ recently. Before that ive had my collection in pricecharting, gamevaluenow (no longer use), gameye, and the best is personal excel files. Using excel really helps with a bunch of game variations and various not for resale titles/titles that arent in the database. But that can also be time consuming with larger collections.

That is one great collection. This has inspired me to go and check how much mine is worth, using pricecharts cuz I'm cheap. Colour me shocked. Unassumingly sitting there in my shelf was a game worth about $680. Not kidding, a CIB Gabriel Knight multimedia edition, the pyramid box. Had it for 30 years, bought at retail back in the day. Not in my wildest dreams I would have thought it was worth that much. It was like one of those reality shows where someone finds a treasure in the attic or something. Going to get an acrylic case for it now. The end value of my collection was far higher that I had ever imagined. Thanks so much for the inspiration and keep up the great content.

Reason why I feel bad to all these people buying digital nonsense their library is worth absolutely not 1 red cents and one day you never know anything can happen you loose everything and need extra cash we loose the internet for months or you just want to pop in an game and play it with no headaches! I can't stress enough how so many are throwing away their money on digital crap . I had my collection appraised 3 years back and it's worth about 103k if I had bought digital all these years if you could back then it be worth absolutely nothing but the cost the console it's on . So I have a very good chunk of change if I ever needed it or if my kids needed it one day . Be smart folks don't give into digital because it's easy get your ass out and buy your games physically! 👍💯✌️. Beutiful collection btw I have to keep half of mine in the attic because it's a lot and I mean a lot lol .

[@codyreece7080]

I did this same thing last year over the course of a week. Very much worth the time, nice to pull up an app with all meta data you can want with 1 click link to price charting. Also helps to prevent buying dupes. Was fun finally putting a number on it.

[@trebm3]

you'd take this to Gamestop and they'd offer you $125 cash $126 store credit.

That app is so nice. About a year ago I put in my movie collection on an app and it was 3,100 movies at the time. The scanning function took forever so I manually entered in each movie. I watched The Lord of the Rings extended edition while I did it and I got done right when Frodo and Sam got to Mt Doom.

[@lawrenceromano7282]

Great video. I use CLZ Games as well....I paid 20.00 to upgrade... I also use CLZ for my fighting adventure books and comic collection, CLZ Music for my girlfriend's Music collection and CLZ Movies for my Blu-ray Collection. I like that I can see my collection when I'm out buying more for my wall... since I have 1218 games total, it's very nice to see prices and condition when I'm trying to upgrade. My most prized game is Psychic Killer Taromaru for the Sega Saturn. Unfortunately it's only case and Disc, but was able to purchase it for cheap when Blockbuster went out of business many years ago and they were selling all their games. Definitely great apps to use. Very easy.... has a few glitches on certain games... but would definitely recommend.

[@PinkDoveRS]

Learning that a bunch of my games were part of a set I didn't know existed would annoy me so much lol, makes it feel like you HAVE to buy them now.

[@ModeSOLOgaming]

Been using Gameye for awhile to track my collection. Love the app and it even gives a monetary value. I'm sure it's estimated but if you're honest about condition I figure it's probably pretty close. I have found that a few games didn't have specific editions/versions to my collection but as long as it's tracked, I'm fine with that. It's an issue that I figure most apps of this nature probably have.

[@videogameobsession]

Those pricing apps / Pricecharting is fun to mess around with, but I'd say they are only about 60% accurate. They don't accurately track Greatest Hits/Platinum type versions very well. Different regions are fine with GameEye/Pricecharting on almost every system now. It also doesn't always know the difference between real games, and things like magnets, posters, games with reprinted stickers, repros, and auctions where the seller took a lower offer. Not to mention the condition. Speaking of my collection, personally, most of my games are 100% mint. I never bought game from a flea market or used game section. I bought probably 95% of them as brand new at the time when they were still new releases, going back to the ColecoVision.

That value isn't really "What could I sell my collection for" or "What is it worth". It's more a number for "What would it cost to replace". This is the value you put on your insurance plan, probably rounded up, so if it goes up in flames you can repurchase everything.
