    As usual the OP misses the point.

    These “pinside values” are not there to actually give you lockdown accurate information, they exist to drive traffic to pinside and it works.

    Exact same thing as another “10 thread a year” subject, pinside pinball machine rankings.

    These are to drive traffic to pinside, and for novelty use.

    If you are having problems selling a game here the reason is simple: your asking price is too high.

    Not pinside’s fault.

    Quoted from d0n:

    I totally agree... "your asking price is too high" according to pinsides faulty average value.

    That's not how it works. I've sold dozens of games on Pinside and I've never once looked at "Pinside's suggested value."

    You think a Waterworld is worth $2800. Clearly, you are clueless on what games are "worth", are having no luck selling your ridiculously overpriced games, and are taking it out on some dumb algorithm that nobody but the greenest noob takes seriously.

    People don't check that when they see a For Sale ad. They just see the For Sale ad and if it's $2800 for a waterworld they chuckle and move on.

    Everybody gets pissy when their games don't sell. Most adjust their asking price or declare in a huff they are "going to ebay!" or "taking it off the market!"

    Others whine about Pinside.

    Only one of the above stated options actually helps you sell your game - guess which one!
