Valuing retro games, where?

In the very near future, i'll be looking to offload a large portion of my retro collection (sadly, downsizing my possessions).

Problem is, I have no idea how much to charge for some of this stuff.

Ebay, Amazon marketplace and the like appear to be fairly useless, with massively overpriced stuff that never seems to sell.

Video Game Prices & Values | VideoGamePriceCharts.com | VGPC seems to only link to those sites, and doesn't seem to take into account PAL releases.

Is there anywhere on the web that will give me a good indication of the true value of my collection?

I read on here that this site might be good:

Coming back to this thread, I also know that the Retrogames site does valuations (buys collections off the public).

You have to have quite a good collection, though, as they wouldn't accept my 50 Spectrum and 5 Amiga games.
