Has anyone else noticed that prices on NES and SNES, particularly on less rare and more sought after games are slowly decreasing. I've also noticed quite a bit more inventory for these systems are local stores around town, who only a year ago maybe had a dozen or so NES titles, but now have an abundance of games? I certainly have, but at the same time I've also noticed a huge spike in prices and demand for PS1, N64, Saturn and Dreamcast games. Even PS2, while not hevily on the rise yet, has been jumping a bit. Does anyone think that the retro collecting bubble is shifting to slightly new consoles, and if so what is your theory behind this? |

People who were playing these systems during their informative years are now reaching that point in their life where they have, or feel that they have, disposable income. My little brother is getting ready to graduate from college. I wouldn't be surprised if he started collecting GCN games. Though, as far as I'm aware, he still owns his gamecube games. I've mentioned to him before if he decides to sell them to sell to me, but I'm sure he wouldn't bother to let me know. |

It is what it is. |

i do think the market is starting to shift, the people who are into collecting nes and snes probably have what they want or are starting to sell their games as most are probably starting to look at retirement soon. though we probably won't see anything actually drop for at least another 5-10 years. |

I'm not sure. I guess that since I get most of my games in the wild anyways instead of searching for prices on eBay, that I have basically been living in a bubble myself! |
