I'm going to close this since we already have this specific field. A request for the total collection cost is here:
We've added many of these now:
https://www.pricecharting.com/console/magnavox-odyssey
https://www.pricecharting.com/console/magnavox-odyssey-300
Please add any games to these lists that you want.
Thanks for the idea. We definitely want to fix these prices so only complete in box consoles are included.
Can you give me some examples of this happening? A link to our page with some mistaken sales. That will help us figure this out and get them more accurate.
You did it right. I see those games on the list now.

The game lists are cached on our server for about 24 hours to speed up the website. So if you add a new game, the game might not appear in the game list for up to 24 hours. Same with search results.
The sales data was added correctly too. We just review sales on newly added games to make sure everything is being added correctly and accurately. So those sales were removed while we reviewed them, but they have been added back in now.
You can add any of the other Amiga games you want in the exact same way and everything should be in place to track those prices.
Thank you
Closing. Duplicate of another issue. Please vote for that issue to keep the votes in one place.

I've changed the logic for "MSX MSX2" to be inferred as MSX console. Thanks for that input.
We can't grab sales going back 2 years. eBay only has sales data going back 30 days in most instances.
The sales that disappeared were removed while admin looked to see if they should be admitted as sales. We do that on quite a few listings for new games to make sure the first sales are legitimate and not fakes.
We have some of these on the site now. They are user added games.

Until we add these in full to the site, users are welcome to add any missing games (as long as you have contributor privileges)https://www.pricecharting.com/add-product
This is already an issue. Please vote for that issue. Thank you

We are gathering sales data and prices are populating through our normal processes. King's Valley has a recent CIB sale that happened just yesterday. You can see it here:
https://www.pricecharting.com/game/jp-msx/king%27s-valley-2#completed-auctions-cib
The price isn't calculated yet because that happens on a schedule and it doesn't make sense to recalculate the prices after every new sale. The price will be calculated for the conditions we do have sales data for (CIB in this instance). Then next time we calculate prices again, we will use that price as a starting point for other conditions we don't have sales data for yet.
The biggest problems with MSX getting price data are three fold:
1. Not a ton of sales volume. In my searches on eBay there have been about 100 sold MSX Japan games in the last two months.
2. Titles not matching in ebay listing vs our database. For example, this ebay listing the seller used Nobunga's Ambition as the game title, but our database has it as "Nobunaga no Yabou: Zenkokuhan" so there is no match. (I've added it manually now)
3. MSX vs MSX2. Most titles on ebay will say "MSX MSX2" for every game. We assume this is an MSX2 game based on the title. But the game is in our system as an MSX game only. So there is no match. Here is an example of this on eBay with Twinbee. We assumed the listing was for an MSX2 game but there is no MSX2 Twinbee in our database.
How does backward compatability work on MSX? Can all MSX games play on MSX2?
Regarding the consoles not being on the site, please add them.
Regarding the consoles not being listed in the menu, we don't usually add consoles to the menu until we have more price data. We will add them to the menu when we feel they are ready for all users to see. Users can search for any of those titles and find them though and use "MSX" or "MSX2" in any search to see them.

I like this idea. I've made a note of it to add in the future when I add some other wishlist features.
