What kind of tolerance do you have for the prices of retro games?

How much maximum will you spend for a retro game?
If prices go up will you pony up the cash?
Do you care how much old games cost / does it bother you at all?

Relative to a lot of hobbies, video game collecting is a bargain. With that said, many of the more expensive hobbies I'm thinking of would be out of my price range.

Video game collecting has become a lot more expensive overall since everyone is now aware that retro games are collectable. Back when I started, people priced them like they were giving them away and even at game stores, prices were very low for most titles. I hot a point several years ago with most retro games where I wouldn't pay what they're going for and luckily due to hunting for them on the cheap and being patient i was able to find many retro titles I wanted for pretty cheap.
The magic number I have in mind for a limit on price for a single game is $200, but depending on how badly I wanted the game, how good of a deal it was, and also how much extra money I had at the time, I may go higher. I can think of two games tha I'd actually do this with, but both would have to be a screamin deal still.

Most games id like to play would cap at around $50 ish dollars, except for Jrpgs i'd easily pay over 100$ depending on how much id like to play it. :)

Most I would pay for something is half of what it goes for online.
