PriceCharting is a price reference

PriceCharting is first a reference to view prizes and track the value of a game. Its history is based on eBay sales and its own marketplace, then classified by product and condition. The tool also covers the PAL, NTSC and Japan regions.

Its collection manager is also complete: import, bar code scan, photos, value history and sales tracking. SideQuest does not seek to replace this specialization.

SideQuest starts from the version you're looking for

For a European collector, the same title can represent several objects: PAL FR, NTSC-U, NTSC-J, standard edition, Platinum, collector, loose or complete.

SideQuest links these criteria to your collection. So you can follow what you miss, define the desired version and keep a budget consistent with your quest.

A price is not enough to judge an ad

An advertisement listed is not automatically a good deal. We still have to check the state, the region, the language, the contents of the box and the reliability of the photos.

PriceCharting helps set the price. SideQuest helps check if the object really matches what you're looking for.
