This may sound horrible, but I hope it does die. There are too many people out there collecting right now just because its "in" or "cool" causing the prices to become over inflated. I blame the hipsters, they pay too much for everything they buy! If Urban Outfitters sold video games I think we'd see Earthbound at $400 for cart only. Once the fad dies off I might be able to afford the games I want!. Sorry for my stupid and illogical rant. |

There are too many gamers and resellers looking for games, making it hard for anyone to find these games. Eventually, hopefully, this fad will pass and at that point maybe 95% of games won't cost nearly as much as they do. |

Anyone who looks at price charting can see its getting bigger than ever. |

It is currently huge, and I think this recent media attention surrounding the NWC cart that sold for nearly 100g is just going to make things worse in terms of interest in the hobby as well as people trying to sell their common NES or N64 games for a fortune. I remember how bad it got after that idiot on Storage Wars said he found a "super rare" NES model 001 or whatever, and then everyone thought their Mario/Duck Hunt was worth hundreds! |
