SNES is brutal to collect for if you are going complete- so many games that aren't necessarily rare but command $100+ prices. Still, I'd say that its not too bad, average boxed game around here goes for 20 to 30, average loose around 8 or 9 dollars, though those aren't always the games you would want to play. Other people have already mentioned it in the thread, but there are alternate cheaper means to play the vast majority of truly great SNES games. And, beyond that, if a game really is truly great it will probably give you more than ten dollars worth of pleasure anyway. I'd actually say that SNES prices are at about what the market can bear right now, they've held steady for two or so years now, perhaps with a slight decline.

Cartagia:
I think the prices of most SNES games are generally pretty reasonable. There are a few popular titles that I would consider "prohibitively expensive", like Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Mega Man X3. Even the common popular games tend to cap out around $30-40 which is pretty fair for a game that everyone wants to play.

The biggest problem with market price (at least in my area) is people who don't understand that the games don't intrinsically have value just because they are SNES games. And that generally comes from the same people who try to sell Madden from 2 years ago for $15-20. "What do you mean you won't pay $10 for -Sports Game 7-? People are selling them Marios for $20-30!"

I don't know where some you get the idea that loose carts haven't increased in price. You must have not been collecting for very long, if you think that.

I used to be able to go like any thrift shop, flea market, or used music shop and find loose SNES carts for under $10 on a regular basis. And I mean stuff like Mario and Zelda, not sports titles or bad platformers.

Now, unless it is a cheap licensed game or a sports game, you aren't even gonna find them loose for under $10, and thrift shops and such are lucky to even have sports SNES titles when you walk in anymore. Unless you get lucky and find that one yard sale or thrift shop run by a little old lady that has no clue.

Were talking about the past few years. It's pretty obvious years ago many titles were cheap since allot less people were looking for them but I was pretty sure many people here would need no explanation for that considering this topic is about people complaining about the high prices wich includes lose carts of today and that prices were cheap back than

Your logic is pretty hard to understand for something this obvious ::)

Would love for it to be true though since prices would be cheap in today's market with your logic since no chances have happened for lose carts.

lose carts of the good games have stayed more or less the same value wise as far as the past 2 to 3 years go. Cib that Is another story though if the condition is there.
