Yeah, but now at least the games still go on sale for a cheaper price and there isn’t a rare game that you can’t find anymore and if you do it’s $130.

Fun fact: if you want Harvest Moon for snes the game will cost you about $400. Good condition with the box and papers will go over a grand. Snes Aero Fighters is $1,500 for an ok cartridge.

Some older ps2 games like monster inc and finding Nemo sell for like $100 last I saw. Before they mastered them for modern consoles, kingdom hearts was about $60 for ps2

There’s a lot of old games I still own or fondly remember across a lot of generations that got really expensive now. One of my favorite rpgs for ps1 was Lunar:Silver star story, and it goes for over $100 still.

Then of course on snes was Chrono Trigger. If you have that game and the box it’s worth $500 to $1200. A lot more than that if it’s an unopened copy.

Wait, these are worth something? I have so many of them rotting in my inventory.

Yeah. I don’t really know much at all about how or why people are buying the stuff or the digital cards or the whole booster pack things that steam does. There’s a ton of little pictures I have, and for whatever reason tons of people buy them if you want to sell them off. Mostly 5 to 25 cents a piece. I’ve never messed with it.

I know the cards are worth a few cents each. Selling those is more trouble than it’s worth.

I meant the inventory gift games being worth something.

But why are they being bought? Are people actually collecting and wanting them? Or is it like a pyramid scheme stock market and people are buying and selling thousands for bits of profit?
