Thoughts on this? You think PS2's time is here?

Honestly, except for a few exceptions that have always been pricey, I haven't noticed this uptick in price. But then, I'm also not really actively hunting for PS2 games. I have mostly what I want for PS2, with a few small exceptions.

What about you guys? Have you noticed this trend while out hunting? Is it time to thin out the PS2 collection and make a little dough?
Cartagia:
Like you I'm not really actively looking PS2 games, so I've not noticed any upticks, but the timeline does generally work out for an increase in price.  I could see it getting even worse if the PS5 gets backwards compatibility and increases demand.

I was looking through some of my PS2 games on pricecharting the other day and I was surprised to see how much Silent Hill games have gone up in price.

SH2 is around $80 for complete, and SH3 is pushing $120, SH4 is around $90

PS2 has exploded in the last few months. All the heavy hitters have nearly doubled- Kuon and Rule of Rose are pushing $600 a piece, Haunting Ground is around $400 and a lot of the midrange titles- especially rpgs have jumped up substantially- 20-50% at least across the board. Just go to VGPC and look at the historical charts.  Some of these prices will settle but the time for ps2 is now.

This doesn't bother me, as I already own about 90%-95% of the games I want for the system. Other than imports, which I haven't bothered with in a while, the only "big contenders" in my wantlist are "Wild Arms: Alter Code F" and "Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam", two games that go for quite a hefty trout.
