xbox360316 :
Yes, I agree.
Even the first X-Box games are going nuts in prices.

I never would have guessed that my copy of "Robotech. Battlecry" would be worth $400.00 If it were kept in mint condition.

How much does "Metal Gear The V.R. Missions" go for?

Good Luck To All.
Peace.

I agree with you I've seen prices for earthbound for the snes for as much as $850 it's ridiculous. Also I've seen some newer games get outrageous prices as well such as Xenoblade Chronicles for the wii. That game came out in 2012 yet some crazy person decided to put it on ebay for $9,999 I don't see how he thinks anyone will pay that much for that game.

I saw a game on somebody's profile here that was worth $4,000! 

Prices are getting insane. Maybe I should try to get into this business!

Some of these games are definitely aging well as far as prices go. I guess it's a good thing I don't care much for having physical copies of each game as long as I can play them on here.

I'm sorry that I made a pointless comment that has nothing to do with this thread, or why the prices to retro games have gone up.

In my experience, they've been "nuts" for almost 10 years. Ever since Youtube personalities like AVGN started getting popular and resellers realized that there was a huge collection community for retro games.

It's sad, but hey, you can usually find better prices, you just have to shop around. Although there are certain titles like the World Championship cart and others that will always be worth outrageous money.

Well, stuff gains value over time, especially really good games. We went through a period of older gen games being dirt cheap but they're starting to gain some serious value.

Some of the old games are definitely skyrocketing in value. For example I sold a ton of games about ten years ago that now are worth upwards of $300... and to think I sold them for between one and five dollars each. lol

The rising prices on retro games is actually good for the game industry though, as it adds credibility to the idea of not only playing games, but also collecting them. It shows people that they're not just for kids and immature adults () but this is a legitimate form of art and entertainment. And collectors cropping up gives gaming the push it needs to finally earn the respect it deserves as a form of media and --as I've already stated-- art.

No kidding prices are outrageous. The craziest ones I have seen on Ebay so far was one that was selling Brigandine for the PlayStation one for $ 500.00 and running average price at the time of about $ 200.00. I was shocked and pissed. I like the game but not enough to give an arm or a leg for it. The other one was Breath of Fire for the Snes and that one was selling for $ 950.00 with a average at the time of about $ 400.00. I mean come on that is just F'ed up. Makes me glad I found Vizzed to play them here. Although I will still keep an eye out for them and others and hope I get lucky and find one that won't cost me my marriage and my home. lol

Yep, prices have been growing for years now and have reached an crazy level now. I want to grow my Nes collection but with the cost its almost imposable. Even Genesis prices are getting crazy, sad days for collectors.
