When will the retro bubble pop?

Sell all your non-everdrive/burned games
soon before they become worthless.

Why the fuck would I sell them? I didn't get them to be a reseller hipster.

Video games are art.
Just like Paintings and other forms of art, they will only rise in price until they are worth millions. Give it 100 years or so

Probably around the same time the market for vintage records pops. That's to say, never.

Surely in 2215 this opus magnum will be worth a fortune in auction halls.

The hipster subculture is now over in 2015 having been absorbed into the mainstream like the emo before them and the wigger before them.

Notice how black, thick rimmed glasses, plaid shirts buttoned all the way to the top and islamic style beards are worn by all the normies from dudebros to moviestars.

Vinyl records are 50c in the smaller thrift shops.

This painting sold for 72 million dollars.

The reason that game wont ever be worth anything though is its mass produced

If someone still has an original, functional copy of that in 2215, you can bet it's going to go for a mint.

those records are basically the equivalent of games like othello and captain skyhawk

Meh, It depends on the jewness shop, quality of the material and how widely manufactured it was.

You can find Michael Jackson's Thriller and Mario Bros/Duck Hunt for prices varying wildly from $1-$20 depending where you're shopping.

You wouldnt feel bad paying $5 for either, but places know they could probably get someone to pay $15 for each.

[Anonymous No.2789846]

It also depends on if games become accepted as upper-class status symbols. Right now they only serves as status among hipsters and certain gamers, part of whom only care because it is a fad. The mass-production thing is definitely a factor, too. Prototypes/samples, prizes, limited editions and so on have a higher chance of growing in value due to limited availability, but even then only for popular games.

Fake.

The last time NWC sold on eBay was in 2009 and it sold for $20,000.

No it's not like used games in thrift shops where all you find is pro niggerball association and trailer park truck rampage.

You can find good music easily.

The bubble will only pop when people lose interest in old games ,meaning by the time the prices go down you won't give a shit because you will be about 50

[Anonymous No.2790073]

That's like asking how long it will be before mint comics go down in price. Batman #1 will never be cheap.

No, it didn't. It was a fake bid and the dude never paid. And then none of the next highest bidders wanted to pay either.

If you value your games for how much they are worth then you are missing the point.

Btw the retro bubble ain't only limited to vidya, and it's not going anywhere fast.

I work as an art show curator at a private liberal arts university and you would not believe the kind of cubist/abstract "a 10-year-old could do this" shit I see go for thousands of dollars weekly. It's all about scarcity and word of mouth networking (dick stroking) among rich businessmen. Somewhat akin to retro game notoriety, in a way I guess.

Retro is only popular because of the nostalgia factor which is fading fast as people grow out of their twenties, get married+kids and a real career/responsibilities.

The new generation today with their flatbrim caps have no interest in retro.

Go look at any PS2 game on youtube.
You'll see kids screaming in the comments "This game looks like garbage!!!! Thank god for Xbone/PS4"

Click an Oblivion(remember? the game where the NPCs all look like they have downs) video and you will see youth praising it as being hardcore and not dumbed down like Skyrim.
If they have even heard of Morrowind they consider it too archaic to play.

When these youngsters do play an older game (because they saw their favorite Eceleb do a vid on it) they stick with the most mainstream accessible shit like SMB3. They SHIT on obscure titles like VibRibbon.
