PriceCharting
What it is
PriceCharting provides current and historic prices for video games, consoles, accessories, and other collectibles. Its collection tracker records owned items and their total value, with tracking integrated into browsing, search, and item details. The site says prices are updated daily. For video games, it combines sold listings from eBay and its marketplace to produce a value for each game and condition using a proprietary algorithm. Users can also buy and sell items listed in its database, including video games, trading cards, comics, coins, and toys. PriceCharting is available through Android and iOS apps, a browser-accessible web app, and an API. A free account includes collection tracking, a wishlist, monthly collection reports, marketplace access, and price search. Collector Sub costs $6 a month; Legendary Sub costs $49 a month and includes downloadable price lists, API access, GameStop prices for video games, and item demand reports. API and CSV use have limits, and third-party display or redistribution of data requires a commercial license and written permission.
