I've been keeping track of this plateau and decline on pricecharting and there definitely seems to be a noticeable dip or flatline of prices on retro games lately. Given there are only a few months of recent data to support this so this still might be a natural decline, but considering it is spread over every retro system I looked up for NES and newer, I definitely am thinking there is a shift happening. We'll see how this develops over the course of the year, but some interesting theories as to why this is happening are bound to come up. My own theory is that we are finally reaching that point where there are finally enough of most games to meet demand or maybe even too many games. Not enough new collectors are entering the hobby, and if anything a lot are leaving or downsizing. Could this be the start of the infamous crash that some have been talking about for several years now? |

It's probably going to drop somewhat after covid However it will be interesting to see if things especially the actual rare uncommon sought after stuff will return to prices prior to covid or still a sizable chunk above that. That being said super common stuff like pokemon. I really doubt that's going to stay skyhigh considering how common allot of the stuff is. having a stack 6 cib pokemon games even ds being worth close 1000$ is just madness :o |
