It's about scarcity and demand. And both are obviously there for classic Nintendo and SEGA stuff.

collectible cards are great because 50% of all holders are true diamond hands. Like fully zealot diamond handed. NFT holders would be astonished if they were able to recognize the level of autism that keeps the pokemon card market swelling in value

Nice man I have Emerald, Red and Gold all with 100% perfect labels. It was really hard to find ones in such perfect condition. Also I have Diamond and Platinum complete also in perfect condition. I think having them in either sealed or flawless condition is going to affect the demand a lot, since it's hard to find (basically impossible on ebay).

Thanks senpai, I've never found a micro in the wild. Plenty of the 2nd Gen SP though. Before I thought of putting money into investments I just built up a collection and only sold doubles. Old Nintendo, Yugioh, Magic and Pokemon too. I feel too lucky that it's still worth something for now, but I may just get frames and save them forever.

If I had my loose carts out it would be more impressive, but sadly

No they didn't, because very few Saturn games were ever ported, and the few that were ported were only sold digitally.

I mean they said they were worthless. People treated it like trash. Wii U is going to age like fine wine just like the Saturn, and people who scramble to buy a Wii for nostalgia will prefer to have a Wii U since it has an hdmi output.

If old vidya got tulip mania’d I’m literally sitting on a small treasure chest worth of autistic manchild treasure.

[Anonymous No.49732593]

>>49732184
Saturn’s worth came more so because it’s difficultly to emulate. Protip: that sets the price more than nostalgia. Bonus Protip: the original Xbox is still cheap to buy and you can still find games for it sealed under 20 bucks that will be considered cult classics (otagi).

[Anonymous No.49732595]

>>49732184
I saw an old price list from 2004 recently and even back then some Saturn and Sega CD games were pricey. Some games like Panzer Dragoon Saga have never been cheap since that one sold out in 3 days, or others that were only available through mail-order.

There was actually an opportunity with the Wii U until recently. The European version of Devil's Third was $20 Brand New. I bought a copy myself but the game sucks so I didn't want to take the risk. Kicking myself now though.

>my retro video game bags have been pumping non-stop for 10 years now.
I've made more money selling games over the past 2 years then i have off any shitcoin.
I live in a pretty rural part of the world (not a shithole though) so i don't have direct access to some uber rare/expensive stuff like AES, or weird PC engine shmups like Sapphire, but because i got into this stuff relatively early i do have all the classics, as well as some cool stuff like a CIB iQue N64, For Asian Singapore/Malaysia Only Super Mario 64, English SEGA PC copy of Sakura Wars 4 (can't find this anywhere online not even photos), Factory sealed Minish Cap, etc etc.
Everything across the board has been dumping in price except for video games.
I'm still getting frequent sales, and haven't had to adjust my prices over the year.

Same here. I don't live in America or Japan so importing everything has added an extra layer of difficulty considering most sellers won't ship internationally. Do you have an XVI? I had to clench out 3 months of shipping via boat.

>>49732593
I bought Otagi about 6 years ago for that price. Pretty sure it's much more expensive now.

Nice, but I’ve been sitting on stock for awhile. I’m guessing we’ll get another boom like in 09 when every mom and pop opened a vintage game store. It’s going to be surreal seeing fucking MGR and Bayo 1 be considered “vintage”. But the real money is in the autistic obscure shit. If the dolphin emulator didn’t progress, I would say the wiiU would be the next Saturn. As it stands, it will probably be priced similar to the Dreamcast. Certain items being outrageous while others being a dime a dozen.

[Anonymous No.49732981]

>>49732593
I think its worth came from the fact is was pure kino and underrated. Wii U gives me the EXACT same vibe, people were manipulated by the gaming press to hate Wii U and its games, for instance Star Fox Zero. Any objective observer in 10 years will realize Star Fox Zero was a good game all along and you literally NEED the Wii U and gamepad to experience it. It's no different than needed a Saturn and a 3D Pad to fully enjoy NiGHTs--a game that also got shit on by the gaming press--one that aged extremely well and is in demand with purists.

[Anonymous No.49733026]

How do you even store physical discs? I got a big collection of PS2 games that I keep in a big case and they all ended up with mold at the back. I can't even enjoy the kino that is AC Zero
