I picked up Baten Kaitos Origins at a random game store not too long ago for 12 bucks and now it's...not that. --- End quote --- that's a pretty lucky find in this era since that game was pricy even when gamecube deals where easy to find many years ago. stores mispricing stuff happens especially with more uncommon titles such as these. |

Maybe I should check my local store's GC department. They have almost nothing but what I consider trash titles left, but I bet they're collectively worth about $10,000 right now. It's kinda like what happened with SNES about 10 years ago, is happening now with GameCube. There's a huge following of collectors on YT going nuts about full-set grabbing on the system. I don't care about the GameCube, but it's kinda sad seeing this happen to any system over time - going from being an accessible thing that anyone can have access to into becoming a hardcore collector's item only. With GC it seems even worse than NES or SNES ever got. Would hate to see the Wii become like this, but it probably will eventually. I'm basically done collecting for the Wii, but still, I'd hate to see it go that way. |

The gamecube doesn't really have 500+ $ grails though Some titles come close but it's cheaper than allot of the older consoles. For the more common sought after titles I'll agree that might be worse than what happened on consoles such as the snes but I'm not to sure. especially if you still count cib cardboard wich is always a pain to collect for. I don't think the wii will ever be as collectable as the cube though. Gamecube generation is the final line in wich crazy prices will happen for a sizable chunk of the library. not to say that future generations won't be collectible it's probably just going to be allot less than older consoles. |

Things are getting nuts. |

Did most of my Wii collecting back in the day of the Wii, there's was nothing expensive at that time. People were still totally writing the system off. I think it'll all spike eventually. |
