Everything is going up. NES stuff showed a little bit of a dip a month or so ago, but I'm sure it'll keep going up just as I'm dead set on finishing my set. --- End quote --- What are the last NES games you are after? I'm guessing all the cheap ones are out of the way. --- End quote --- I've still got some commons to go. I do have the 2 big heavy hitters (Flintstones 2 and Little Samson) left. It's not going to be easy, that's for sure. I really think that collecting in general is what's driving the price up. Folks aren't just collecting NES or SNES like they did 5 years ago. People are collecting games. Period. There are even some Wii games that are labeled "Rare" and prices are going up. --- End quote --- You got cheetahmen 2, and nintendo world championships? --- End quote --- I think the big question is Stadium Events. It's gotta hurting know you have to buy what is essentially World Class Track Meet with a different name for a couple grand. |

--- Quote from: Warmsignal on October 02, 2014, 05:56:58 pm ---Either an effect of the pot simmering over with enthusiasm for game collecting, or the fact that GC was far more obscure than PS2 or Xbox. Maybe a bit of both. GC proves to be almost as hard to find in the wild as Dreamcast. I'm shocked that Xbox remains as cheap and unloved as it still is. GC is going up, PS2 is on a steady rise, but I think Xbox is about the same as it was 5 years ago. Earlier this year I checked everything on VGPC, the only consoles that hadn't seen a large increased average since 2009 was basically everything Sega (- SMS), and XBox. PS1 had actually gone down. Everything else has gone way up. SNES tripled I think. Nowadays it doesn't surprise me to hear about anything becoming valuable. Especially if it's a game I never bothered to pick up. ;D There are in fact valuable Wii games already, standard release ones. Wii prices are set to go way up in the near future, I'm almost certain. --- End quote --- You think it's bad now give it 20 years that goes for all those systems. Still can't wrap my head around the fact the xbox 360 will be considered vintage one day. But I bet the games are still worthless, in there case finding a working piece of shit 360 would be the challenge. |

I haven't really noticed the original Xbox games going up, either that or the ones I'm interested in are the ones no one else wants. :P --- End quote --- Take a look at KoToR 2 and Conker. They've both gone up receintly --- End quote --- Yep, games I'm not interested in. :P Actually I did know about Conker now that you say it, but I always hated that game. I probably need to take a closer look at that system's library before prices DO start to jump on it tho - just this week I was reminded that there's a port of the PC game Tron 2.0 on it, and I then proceeded to order a brand new copy off of Amazon for $5 shipped. :o --- Quote from: Warmsignal on October 02, 2014, 05:56:58 pm ---Nowadays it doesn't surprise me to hear about anything becoming valuable.

And if you haven't really looked at the Wii's library and think that outside of first-party releases it's all shovelware...well, first, I was you last year. Second, take a closer look, there are a surprising number of good overlooked games on that system, and many of them are already becoming scarce. Once more people start to realize this & buy them up, they'll move on to valuable. |

Speaking of which, my 360 is an old white tank that hasn't tanked yet. :D |
