After many months ive now been able to work through the bugs and site work and i am proud to finally release this website for all you EM collectors who want to know the magic questions around "how much" an EM game will sell for on eBay. You will need to have Microsoft Word 2007 to view the Excel and Word documents.

I only record what i can keep track of for those EM games that are related to Rifle's, Drivers, Unique targetting games, Puzzle games, and some Pitch & Bat games which to me are the main bread and butter of skill EM games aside from EM pins. These games are in a smaller niche market compared to pins and some of the other EM odditys so they do not come to the eBay market that offten.

Novelty and oddity EMs like Cranes, strength testers, Bowlers, fortune telling machines and other games of chance im just not following at this time. And quite frankly i dont wish to follow them because there are already price guides for EM pins by other collectors and the amount of EM odditys that are in the market are just way overpriced and do not sell on eBay. When games are overpriced we dont get an accurate understanding of what a game is worth until they are sold and that is how the free market works and that is what i try to record on a regular basis. It is only worth what someone is willing to pay.

I do not inflate or make up the prices ive recorded. They are taken right from the actual final eBay sales auction. You will find all the sellers names in the Excel document to see the auctions they have listed. Everything will be recorded from normal auctions, buy it now, made offers etc etc.

And now, i present to you The EM Game Price Guide. I hope you find it to be of value. And thanks

How far back did you go to compile this data?
Thanks for taking the time to do this.
 
Id also like to add when you look at Excel file associated with the current auctions or the "tallied" Word file you'll notice the date listed so if the date does not reflect the current date that means i havent made an update to the file.

Generally the Excel file for current auctions will update on a daily / weekly basis as new auctions come up or end and the tallied Word file will only update once a game has actually been sold.
 
Any chance we might get a "sticky" from an Admin or Mod on this thread so it doesnt get washed away from collectors ? Thanks
 
There are already plans to make a sticky in this thread soon and I don't want too many of them. I'll sticky this on a temporary basis though.
 
Damn, can't view it on an iPad.

Yeah, sorry about that Phet, Apparently Ipads dont like to view the site because of the lack of flash player. Not sure there is anythiing i can do about that unless there is an application that you know of that will allow you to veiw the content and is Ipad friendly.

Nice site man...I will try to load my schematics for the games I have into a pdf and send to you. Helpful info should be shared in our community.

Alrighty, Sounds good. And thanks
 
Wasnt planning on adding these but i have decided to go through and start adding true bowlers and shuffle bowlers to the price guide.
 
Added at least 25 auctions tonight for puck bowlers, true bowlers and a few pitch & bats to the price guide. mostly from United and Chicago Coin.. these are some big ticket items and some of them are in great restored condition.
