I sure hope you're right... games going down to a reasonable price again would be awesome...
I say the bubble was reached the moment people stupidly pledged for an illegitimate and overpriced kickstarter for a 60$ NES game rightly remembered as one of the worst games never released.

That said, I did get my copy of Earthbound for pretty cheap... free, that is :P

@turf, I agree that the bubble will pop soon. I think that there are too many people who are just buying to resell and there just won't be enough collectors to buy it all.

I give it no more than 2 years.
turf:
I really do think Virtual Console and the like are the answer.  If Earthbound is released on VC, I think in the next few weeks you could watch people scramble to get rid of those copies they paid $200.  The price will plummet and I'll get one for $50-$70.  That's what I'm hoping for anyway.
