Value Increase of Games Lately

[NickAwesome]

Gamevaluenow's collection tracker since Feb/March hadn't been accurately keeping up with all the price increases as of late.  It was completely down for the last week but then finally came back today.  My collection value went up 40k, my head just about popped out of my skull.  I knew prices had gone up but good lord, this is crazy.

Something good might come of this. Gaming overloads I think are violating laws that have to do with consumer rights, I am no expert of the law. But my heart tells me that if people can't buy any games to keep like you can in the olden days.

Something will burst, It's got to. People love retro gaming as well as modern gaming and if we can no longer keep our modern games. that companies can, take them off the internet. and, expect us to buy a new console, and another remaster, or take that game away, people will find other means to obtain video games.

Who wants to buy a lame one time digital download code for your friend? or relatives birthday? come on I know not. and better yet would you rather have a game that you can keep? or would you rather buy something only to have it taken away from you?

PS. Thank God for consoles that come with games built into them and consoles that can hold 1000's of games for the price of one new modern video game.

I wouldn't put too much faith in their pricing the site doesn't seem like it's running good

You okay, buddy?  You seem to be having a full on conversation with yourself.

I decided to go take a look at GVN's collection tracker because why not.  I added like 5 games and decided to go look at my collection because it was being fucky, and now it's throwing an AJAX error and won't even let me view my collection.  I'm just gonna chalk it up to GVN being trash like always.

Yeah sorry phone was acting up

Had this same issue. I only started an account due this thread last week.

Yeah, it's why I use VGPC.  GVN looks nicer, but it just doesn't work.

I mean to be fair there's nothing wrong with the actual price tracker for GVN, it pulls prices from eBay just like VGPC. The site is just going through a transition from a new owner and going back to regular updates.  There's a new beta that was released and I think they are having some growing pains trying to transition everything over.  They added new games for the first time in 10 months.  I'm holding out hope that they fix the issues as I really prefer the interface to VGPC.

They added new games for the first time in 10 months.

This was the reason I stopped using GVN.  VGPC lets vetted users add products to the site, so items get added daily.

I've just been adding my stuff to VGPC over the past day and continuing today since GVN just doesnt want to work. Maybe once its stable sure but until then VGPC. Not gonna lie, its interesting to see what individual games I have are going for. Some of the prices are a bit out there but that COVID-19 bump is real it seems.

It's not just video games. Comic books, too. Things are spiking like crazy in both areas of collecting. Someone bought a first appearance of Miles Morales Spider-Man for $2800. It's a modern, mass-produced comic from Marvel, came out in 2011.

I'm not complaining as it's allowed me to sell some stuff for a decent penny, which then has given me money to afford other stuff I want.

It's all because of COVID. People are stuck at home and bored and need entertainment. So a lot of people that aren't collectors are getting nostalgic and wanting to play the game they remember from their childhood.

The perils of boredom.

It’s all likely going to go very pear shaped in about 12-18 months, when we start to see home foreclosures as a result of an impending global recession (possibly even depression) stemming from the economic fallout as a result of the pandemic. When that happens, everything, including second hand game values, will start going downwards, but I’d be surprised if they returned to pre-pandemic levels.
