--- Quote from: astralsoul on September 26, 2020, 12:32:09 am ---Yup! and as someone who is just getting back into NES collecting finding commons for cheap has been a godsend as of late! Just picked up 21 games for just over $100 recently. Nothing rare obviously but I'm happy with the Marios, Disney Capcoms, and other lesser appreciated games like Friday the 13th and Monster Party. I held off on buying for NES because of the price but everything else seems to be going up while NES is stagnating. So I'm happy about that! One thing to note though is while games seem to be going down (except rares) the consoles themselves seem to be going up a bit especially the top loaders. I had a top loader some 10 years ago and I hate that I sold it, I think I paid $75 for it back then. Now they're running $150-200. The front loaders seem to have gone up a little as well, though not as much. --- End quote --- I only use my "Hyperkin RetroN 2" today, since my original NES I bought, is hard to get working. I like the "Hyperkin RetroN 2" but mine only has AV cord hookups, But it instantly plays both Super Nintendo and Original NES Nintendo games on it as well., and the "Hyperkin RetroN 2" let's you play. Using either an original or off brand, NES and SNES controller with use to all of it's games. So far the only thing my"Hyperkin RetroN 2" can't play is Rad Racer II |

As someone collecting for 34 years now, I have seen almost all of it. Commons pricing is stable or slightly decreasing only dependent on the title. Almost all CIB regardless of there scarcity are going up in price as they are all highly desired. There are collectors dropping their complete loose sets to get complete CIB sets. Same goes for sealed and sealed/graded but to an even higher degree. Many of those "collectors" are not just doing it to keep but also as investments. While they hurt the hunt for the little guy, they keep raising the prices now into the thousands for even common sealed & graded games. It truly is nuts to see what some of the prices are. |

I picked up a couple NES games the other day for $15. Of course, those are the prices that my local store has always had. They priced all their stuff several years ago and they don't bother to update prices when they rise, so a lot of their NES games are sub $10. VGPC says NES average has gone up to $31 this year. About half of the games are going for more than $10. That's still pretty inexpensive when you consider a lot of other systems at this point. |
