/vr/ - Retro Games

I agree OP, I hate it, too and I wish renting was still possible. I mean, when these collectors then decide to sell their collection, they somehow mix up the value of the game with how valuable these games are for them personally. It's a piece of plastic. It might look nice. It might be nostalgic. But fuck anyone who tries to sell me a fucking gameboy game for 200$. These jews are just ridiculous. I'll be honest I paid a lot for some games before, but it's just not worth it most of the time. You can still get PS1 games for 20$, but as soon as they hit that sweet spot between rare and popular they immediately spike up to 150$. Ah and don't forget the extra 50$, because it has the fucking manual included and the box only has a few scratches instead of being completely fucked up beyond recognition.
But whatever, I just emulate those that I can't get (something like Panzer Dragoon Saga - found one for 750$ - fucking crazy) and buy those I am willing to afford. Can't do much about it.
