Major drop in SNES market?

[Anonymous No.6113179]

I own a small online game store and at this point I cannot give away SNES titles whereas in the past 3 or so years it was my best selling console, both on the e-commerce end and on Ebay.

With the exception of the Saturn, every other console is pretty much business as usual as far as demand and sales go? What gives?

Retro game collecting hit its peak in 2017 and has been on a slow decline since. Just look at most of the values on Price Charting, they're trending downwards and have been. The people that fueled the retro collecting fad were people aged 5 to 18 during the time the SNES was around, and all those people were now old enough to have careers that afforded them disposable income. At this point in their lives it was appealing to collect momentos from their childhood, and for most 90s kids that was video games. People jump in, prices skyrocket, but the nostalgia party never lasts.

This same exact trend can be seen with the toy collector market and how it peaked in the late 90s, and by the late 2000s prices has crashed. Same with Baseball cards in the late 80s and early 90s, Atari in the early/mid 2000s, and comics in the 90s. Same exact situation.

I don't want to sound like one of those doom and gloom faggots, but I can see most retro games being half their price in the ocming years, with the exception of genuinely rare stuff since that stuff is so rare and limited that there will always be a lot more people wanting it then what's available.

There is no singular peak, in fact there are many of them. What youre referring to is actually a bubble. Every few years another console starts appreciating interest and others wane. People said 8 years ago that the retro games market was going to crash. What uneducated plebs didnt know is that the games THEY were interested in at the time (SNES) have already burst and that the next consoles (Gamecube) were starting to skyrocket in price, not retro games as a whole.

Different consoles trend yearly but because the market is built on discontinued goods a lot of the trends are artificially instigated by resellers. And thats ok because most of them go belly up when no one buys and smart people buy their stock when they cant afford their monthly storage payments. Then everyone hops on another bandwagon.

It's called running a business. The business must buy at a price lower than it sells. Meanwhile, the individual selling his games has all the resources available to him to figure out what a proper asking price is. Some people are too lazy and stupid to do that research and thus subject themselves to the risk of accepting lowball offers. The business has zero obligation to offer a high price for anything. After all, the individual can always negotiate for more or say no. There is no duress in the transaction.

This, plus the Switch started offering the NES/SNES online service with your internet account subscription. The biggest market for retro game shit over the past 10 years has been zoomers playing Smash and then realizing they'd like to play the old games all the characters came from, so they go online and spend their first McPaycheck on an SNES and a copy of Mario All-Stars for $200 because they're stupid and don't know any better. Now that demographic is dead because they can play Mario World all they want on their Switch, and after about 10 minutes of that, they realize that's all the "retro" gaming they cared about doing anyway.

New people get into it all the time, it had quite the explosion of popularity some years back, and since then, it's become something pretty decently sought after. It's still a niche community for sure, but not nearly as small as it once was.
This is a strange place to put this, but the analogy kinda fits, so here we go.

Take art as an example.
Artists, the most important of them, imo, were largely unpaid for their work within the spans of their lifetimes. Generally called, the Starving Artist.
Then we get to the modern day, where artists are compensated quite well, provided they meet some form of criteria for profitability.
There's some pros and cons here. In the olden days, very very very few artists were well known, and many such weren't known globally. Even then, it was hard to price out art. It's like those $10 displays at Hobby Lobby that people buy. It's random bits of wood and scrap, but it looks neat, right? Same thing, different time period.
So, popularity and the amount of people willing to passively give various people income. (Patreon)
However, having set the bar so low for profitability in our day, places like Cal-Arts do most of the animation on CN. When I was growing up, there were multiple art styles and animation styles in cartoons.

I don't disagree with artists getting paid for their work, I feel anyone should be compensated, but I do question the commodification of various items.
In this sense, it doesn't quite work amazingly for the case of Retro Vidya, seeing as it started off being commercialized/commodified from the get-go, and at top dollar prices, frankly. (I remember when AAA games cost $40 new.)

My point is, having made this hobby something put further out into the lime-light via gobs and gobs of cash, this kinda opened the usual floodgates with every hobby, culture, society, etc and gentrified the scene whilst driving up prices.

Most SNES games in general have become far easier to find cheap since mid-2017. It's likely they'll keep gradually sinking down in price unless something happens to spike them back up. On the other hand, N64 games seem to currently be in the plateau phase that SNES games were in from 2015-2017, while Gamecube games are still going up in price. It's consistent enough across games that it's clear exactly where the bubble is and when it began popping.

You know what I like doing? Purposefully offering slightly below pricechart value on games on ebay that are way overpriced on "or best offer" items. Apparently ebay takes a larger cut unless you list your item with that, so even though some sellers get assmad with having to deny offers to avoid giving the larger cut of the sale, I just keep fucking doing it and offer the same value even when they counter offer with a pitiful couple dollars off their "I know what I got!" markup. Sometimes I get a friend or two to offer lower prices a day or so after to try and demoralize them that their item is going to keep on sitting until they get antsy. Ebay sellers are the fucking worst, even worse than brick and mortar resellers. I'm happy that recently they've been getting absolutely fucked by zoomers who aren't paying when the auction ends.

Sometimes these resellers are very scummy at negotiating though, so I understand that hate, but most resellers just want to buy stuff under market value so they can do the legwork of having to list everything up

These are correct answers and thanks to Repros/flashcarts existing it makes it much easier to purchase than to say buy the real thing. The only difference is it's 30 year old plastic vs a few years old plastic.

The arguing in these threads tends to come across as jealous collectors hoping they can influence the market

[Anonymous No.6121597]

the fighting in these threads comes across as jealous would-ba collectors who want to influence the market by arguing for flashcarts/emulation.

If you have everything you could ever want or need available to you (flashcarts/emulators/fgpa or whatever), why are these people so obsessed with retro game prices?

>with the exception of genuinely rare stuff since that stuff is so rare and limited that there will always be a lot more people wanting it then what's available.
Until it is dumped and the prices finally fall due to flash carts and Computer emulation being able to do it.

Yeah, everytime I see people going "Noooooo don't collect plastic!" all I'm reading is "Please sell it to me for cheap, you don't need it!"

But that's just the thing. Right now, some people are thinking they might copy the model Microsoft is using and allow use of hard copies as keys. This also means they'd be able to support games that'd otherwise be tied up in legal issues. Like the Ace Combat games are never getting re-released outside a bundle with a later game, because of all the plane licenses expiring and not being worth the effort to renegotiate.

> small online game store
> nobody is buying my garbage
a few factors: you're probably charging far too much for garbage and there hasn't been any recent activity on that platform to get anyone's interested in buying more crap. (there's only so many people in the world that give a fuck about older systems). rise of virtual consoles and far cheaper emulation solutions and finally: the market is flooded with people like yourself that are selling crap that people could have picked up for under $5 a cart (no matter the title) 10+ years ago when even less people gave a shit.

stop charging so much, faggot. and no, you can't get away with charging prices like it was 1992 for a thrashed out cart with no manual or box and expect people to pay you. lmao.

Not a reseller, but nothing is stopping you from getting games the way resellers get stock ie garage sales, estate sales, Craigslist, eBay lots. Games don’t just materialize out of nowhere for resellers.

>but nothing is stopping you from
Nothing stops you, but it's much harder because of resellers. Craigslist in particular used to be pretty nice, but my local area is devoid of sales because guess what? The resellers list on craigslist that they buy games and most people see their ad before they even list the games in the first place. Majority of the loose copies in the wild go straight to the reseller. Their very presence locks the majority of people out of the chance to even find the sale. With yard sales, they hit them and clean them out without regard to the title. Collectors are only buying things they don't have or to trade to other collectors so there's dupes left for new collectors to look at for themselves.

Owners sell to resellers low, resellers sell to collectors high. Or owners sell to collectors low or high. What value was added by the reseller in the first scenario for the collector? Nothing. They're an unnecessary middle man that's a solution to a problem they created. It screws the original owners too because they're never going to get a good deal with a reseller. They might get one with a desperate collector if the owner knows the rarity. Never with the reseller. They're unnecessary competition that benefits neither of the other two parties and adds no value.

Use the ODE if you can get it. SD Loader is fine for just checking out a game or two, but everything has issues. The latest Swiss makes it go from a joke to playable. It's up to you whether that's acceptable.

Everytime i go to Comicon since 2016 i saw the same unsold NES games stack that goes for even worse prices than ShitBay,by the same smelly slobs who might as well work for Screenwave.

Thieves at least have balls to steal. Resellers have tiny balls are terrified of other resellers flipping their inventory.
