What are games worth?

[Jim,Frost]

I collect old PC games and I love Sierra games.  I don’t collect for the value of the games as much as I do it because I have a passion for old games.  But I’m still curious as to how much some of them are worth.
Is there a site or guide that shows roughly how much certain old games are worth? 

I’ve found guides for many games on old consoles but I haven’t been able to find one for PC games.

Unfortunately, older PC media (like floppy disks) are just too fragile, so there won’t be many guides available.

Your best bet would be to check with specific fan groups; they usually have at least one person that’s ‘in the know’ about rare games.

Hi Jim,

I´m collecting only PC adventure games (point and click).
The prices really vary, a lot.
It depends on so many things like the overall quality of the item, the version, the rarity, completeness and so on.
And then it´s always a point of time thing that sets the current price.
I´ve some games that are worth double the price I´ve paid for 1 or 2 years ago.
Other have droped to certain reasons.
So it´s really hard to tell and nearly impossible to create a guide for it.
