Let's discuss games retro games that are hyped to shit and have almost no rarity, and yet cost ridiculous amounts of money. My pick is Hagane because:
>A flawless copy goes for 600-700 dollars, while any copy with even a SINGLE tear or small sticker is worth 300-400, so this is almost purely a collectors item.
>at least 15,000 cartridges confirmed to exist, which sounds small, but keep in mind that an awesome game like Aerofighters has 3000 copies, and goes for 300-400.
>sought out by casual faggots who watched a video by Mike Matei
I will never collect this game for as long as I live because it represents everything terrible about retro video-game collecting today, If I found it for a low price, i'd sell it off as soon as I'd be able to.

Hagane is pretty fucking rare. to give you an idea, there are currently 2 copies of Hagane on ebay,, there are 5 copies of Little Samson and 6 copies of Dinosaur Peak.

Not stupidly expensive, but I don't get why Gunstar Heroes is like 50 bucks when it's on various digital platforms.

Yep

Your argument makes no fucking sense. The demand is for the PHYSICAL VERSION of the game, not the digital one. If having the digital version is so fucking great, then why don't YOU just get it instead of bitching about the price of the physical version? You're such a stupid fucking idiot, complainin that other people still have demand for the physical version when YOU YOURSELF have demand for the physical version

Don't try arguing with them. Almost everyone on this board are brainless retards who don't understand supply & demand and think all video games should be free.

they are free ;)

Never pay more than 20 bucks for a video game.

>>2411503
None of them are.
Do you seriously think Chrono Trigger or Earthbound or any other game regardless of how good it is is worth $100+?

>Don't try argue us the speculators, hoards and hipsters. Almost everyone on this board hates us because we ruined their hobby by our deceptive use of the word "rare" on cockroachbay, and when they use real arguments, we just came out with shitty strawmans like "you just want everything to be free bwaaw mah greed"

Fixed :)

I can't really argue with this. The days of finding old games for reasonable prices is mostly over.

It's still a fun, creative, and quirky turn based rpg.
