The
EM Game
Price Guide
the.em.game.price.guide Copyright 2024
A little information about this guide. Please use it as a general guide line for the purpose of evaluating the pricing of your own
game as it goes to market or when considering a potential purchase.
The auctions / prices are taken from the actual eBay final sales listings and include the most commonly seen titles by all major
manufacturers of the times. The final sales are recorded into the Microsoft Excel files 2007 for your convenience. Our new HTML
site now makes it easier for all Ipad, Ipod, Mac, and mobile users to surf all the content and files provided here free of charge.
I oversee hundreds of auctions daily and have included a variety of vintage EM's such as Rifle & Target games, EM Pinball
games, Pitch & Bat games, Big & Small Ball Bowlers, All Puck Bowlers, Driving games and many other unique EM games.
As the auctions end the final results are updated to this guide on a daily basis. I do not slant or skew these prices in one
direction or the other. They are documented right from the end of auction transaction between the seller and buyer. Im just
the messenger.
The sellers have 6 months to sell their games at auction which i track and record daily. If the game is not sold within this time
they are dissolved from the price guide tracking. Many games do not sell due to high stagnant prices or unrealistic estimated
prices which did not attract ANY Bids, Offers or Buyers durring that 6 months. All dissolved auctions are sent to purgatory.
I'am not following prices for vending machines, prize cranes, juke boxes, strength testers, fortune telling, gambling machines,
redemption games, most trade stimulators, solid state games, or any other oddity or novelty at this time.
Thanks for visiting The EM Game Price Guide.
With the exception of some EM game such as pins. Various games in other genre's have flown under the radar regarding prices and worth value for many years. Now, I have taken the steps to provide to the public and collectors what they have been guessing at all these years and put to rest the questions of what something is worth by measuring the bulk of EM game sales through eBay auctions. Most auctions are focused on games from 1941 to 1977 including ealry EM's, Flipperless pins, Pins with flippers after 1947 through the golden age up until about 1977 or so just before solid state games. From these sales we get the understanding of what someone is willing to pay and over time we see what become the average price of many titles that sell over and over in a free market society in hopes that this guide will provide you a better knowledge of negotiating power for that special deal or to profit your way to the next adventure.
Just some of the things I hope this guide can provide for you which other sources may not...

Note: Shipping prices are never included in the final sales price here because this is considered a separate expense over and above the final sales price. For this reason, ANY extra cost such as added Buyer Premium's, Fee's, Tax'es and Shipping Expenses incurred should never impact the final hammer price seen at the end of auction nor should it effect the games overall value or condition itself. Also note, It is inconceivable to know in the auctions who will pay for shipping and who will not. Some people will pick up the game they have won. This is another reason why shipping prices are not recorded or added to the final price. All final sales recordings seen inside the tracking files and average price index files will be the true value of the game only and nothing more. Keep it simple & keep it fair.
