Are most retro video games in really in the hundreds range a piece now? That is a shame because I don't think I will continue my hobby of collecting video games. If In my opinion if you buy a single game for second hand over $30 you getting ripped off buy your dealer. I don't understand how retro dealers are getting away with selling a, typical shooter game for example for 100's of US dollars. box or not you can buy furniture for less. or possibility a car part |

If I can find a game complete, in good condition, that somebody took care of for the past 20+ years, I have no problem paying the original amount. I recently got into buying arcade games. When I was a teenager, the going price for a cabinet was around $1250. If I can get a PCB of a game I played growing up for $200, I'm all over it. |

$200 max willing to pay and ot has to be something driving me insane to find. For me it was Dokapon Journey complete edition like new for DS. Spend $150. Mosty due to the fact, i havent saw it on ebay for over 6 months, and everyone else that had it was asking for $400+ |

I've learned to accept the reality of retro video game pricing. Video games can be an expensive hobby. But like any hobby, I can stop participating if it gets too expensive and find something else to do with my time. |
