How can I find out how rare a game is?

A local shop sells a lot of used games, and they have a stash of Sega CD games very cheap. I'd like to find out if any of these are on the rare side. Are there any resources on the net that would help me determine what games might be in the rare/hard-to-find category?

Thanks,

Thanks,
Search for them on ebay and see how high the bidding goes. If it passes 50 bucks, it's rare for a Sega CD game. If it reaches 100 then you really have something.

The only game I ever wanted to play on the Sega CD was Lunar 1 and 2. But those were enhanced and rereleased on the psx so i'm not sure how rare they are but I believe they do go for quite a bit on eBay.

The only Sega CD games that I can think of that would get you any real value on ebay would be

The two most valuable would be:
Snatcher (one of the best Sega CD games ever and one of the hardest to find)
Shining Force CD


Next to those you might get decent money for:
Lunar 1 and 2 (not so valuable since the PSX versions came out)
Vay
Popful Mail

Borderline:
Sonic CD
Echo the Dolphin
Echo Tides of Time

Check ebay, but I've recently sold off several rather bad Sega CD games on Half.com for $7-10 each, so there is still a market. I have all the above listed rare titles, but I won't part with them.
