Actually I think I am wrong. Even though these gamecube games are at below market value, the market on goozex is still flooded with them.

 Metroid prime - 65 offers, 15 requests

RE4 - 37 offers, 16 requests

 

So even though I personally feel these games are underpriced there is still a flood on goozex. If the prices went up to 200 points I'm sure metroid would have 6x as many offers as requests instead of 4. Raising the point value makes no sense on a flooded game, even if it is below market value.

My mistake.

I bought Metroid Prime at EB Games for $2.99 when I got my Wii, so Goozex's price may actually be too high for that one.

I think the value for the game Crackdown on Xbox 360 might be a bit too high. You can purchase the game used from Gamestop for $20, and it sells for that value or less on eBay as well.

The 650 point value of the game for Goozex seems a little steep by comparison, especially considering the huge availability of the game.

What about Halo 2 for the Xbox?

 

On Amazon, it's $20 used, $28 new, but only worth 150 points in Goozex. 

 

This doesn't make sense especially when it's #3 on most requested on all of Goozex with only 3 offers for 43 requests!

Advance Wars Dual Strike is a highly requested game but is only 500 points ($25). It's out of print, and averages about $40 on amazon/half.com/ebay. Given the high number of requests, it seems like it should be increasing in point value.

Superman Returns: This is $10 on Amazon for the 360 version, yet 500 points here.

 Vanguard Bandits for PS1.      Worth $45 on EBAY because it is amazingly rare. Yet noone will sell it on Goozex because it's only worth 150 points.

The main point of this thread is for games that are way off from the average used game price if you were to go out and buy them. Half.com and Amazon have this used starting at $22-23, so 500 points is actually pretty close to the current market value. In addition to supply & demand, another factor to look at is the trading history - there are currently 7 trades going on for this game, so obviously a lot of buyers are OK with the price!

Some of the Bit Generation games for GBA seem a bit too low at 350 points.  I'm thinking of trading a few of mine, but I'd be much happier if they were at least 400 points each.  I'm not asking for much, a 50-point increase seems fair on games that are asked for consistently and rarely received. 

 On that note, one is called Orbital, but Goozex has it listed incorrectly as "Orbiter".

I'm all for this one, I've had all these on request for months and anything that'll get them listed is fine with me!

 Why is Metal Gear Solid 4 900 points, while other new release games are 1000?  I feel like this game should not be less than other current titles.

 

Thanks.

Because that is the price that the Muze database gave for a used copy.  In two weeks it will be at 1,000 points.
