I see sooooo many copies of Conker. I think the demand for it is actually lower than it's supply, however low that might be, which being published by RARE as a "second party" developer for Nintendo I can't imagine was terribly low. |

I worked in the video game section of Toys R Us back between 2003-04, and we had literal stacks of Bad Fur Day that we couldn’t sell. There were so many of them. Even back then, I was thinking that maybe I should pick up one or two to keep in the box...in hindsight, I guess I should have. |

It's a waste of time to mourn over those missed opportunities. Keep in mind that you have to take care 20-25 years of those items just to make a few hundret bucks profit. That's not even close to a month salary for most of us. |

But still, you would need to reserve space for lots of games for over 20 years without even knowing if their market value will ever justify the effort. |
