Man I just looked up the price that Conkers BFD is going for ATM (PAL version) and cartridge alone is asking £50-£70. With box is £100-£200.

I guess I lucked out buying a boxed copy with minimal wear and like new manual for £65 a few years ago. I regretted it at the time. It can stay safe since I just play it on my 64drive now.

Is it always going to increase do you think? Also, do N64 carts "die" like SNES/Gameboy/NES carts do with save batteries?

None of you guys have listed anything that costs real money.

Boxed JP Mega Drive shmups like Slap Fight or the rarer Eliminate Down?
On the same point the JP Robocop Vs. Terminator doesn't seem to go for less than $100.
But then if you're actually talking REAL rarity then check out the Neo Geo AES EU version of Kizuna Encounter was rumoured to go for a lot more than what it was listed at on racketboy (there was a thread on it on the NG forums a few years ago someone said one went for around 40k).
Then have a look at the scarcity of complete Capcom CPS Changer kits, you'd be looking at tens of thousands for a complete set of all 20ish games (for those that don't know the CPS changer was C's only forray into home console hardware)

Μany good, niche games from Atlus with limited copies are pricey. And I loved this one way before Project X Zone.
