>the original Mega Man is now up to $800 CIB.So I take it the retro bubble isn't going to pop any time soon. You were either a millennial growing up in the 80s or you're a poorfag forever basically.
>>12884329>You were either a millennial growing up in the 80s or you're a poorfag forever basically.They also had access to Bitcoin for pennies, early Magic cards, and early Pokemon. Greediest generation to be honest, they pretend they are the biggest victims while enjoying the biggest privileges. (They were also the ones responsible for wokeism, ruining society for an entire generation for everyone younger than them.)
>>128843300/10 are you even trying? pathetic
>>12884330WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHKeep crying mother fucking bitch.
>>12884339Bet you have your pronoun on all your profiles.
>>12884329>You were either a millennial growing up in the 80s or you're a poorfag forever basically.Yes we've gone over this thousands of times for the past 5 years.
>>12884330
>>12884329>retro bubble isn't going to pop any time soonOnly for sealed and graded copies are going up in value, but are slow sellers and some dubious price fixing is goign on. Loose cart value flatlined and many are even dropping in price.
>>12884423Forgot pic. That is 5 year ebay price history for Mega Man. Loose copies on local marklets are ~$65 or less at times, unless you get one of the "I know what I've got" cunts on facebook marketplace.
>>12884428whats the issue? that's a totally reasonable amount for a video game. if you can't afford that just emulate
>>12884329If you're not using a flashcart or emulating in this day and age, you're a dummy.
>>12884428A lot of the SNES carts I'm trying to get, some of the rare obscure shit, has consistently gone up 50% the past three years. Not everything has flatlined.
>>12885151In some cases yes. Rare fringe failed products for any console at their end of life are more rare than CIB versions of normal games. That appeals to investors (not gamers). Even then most of these are not really changing in value. Final fight guy was allegedly a blockbuster exclusive, and even it is worth less now than it was in 2016.Exertainment Mountain Bikerally Speed Racer was that meme game made for exercise bike accessory, a totally failed product, sold for $2600 in 2014 and is still around $2800 today. A few titles like aero fighters SNES have crept up since covid though. But that demake isnt even worth playing, just play the arcade version.
>>12884329The retro bubble WILL pop but iconic games that have history tied to them won't.Rando copies of B-tier NES titles will finally dip, but the "rookie card / debut titles" of iconic 30-40 year old franchises CIB won't. Too much value and history there.Complain about the prices of Little Samson and Snow Bros, not a CIB copy of Mega Man or Legend of Zelda.
>>12884329Why do you need cib for carts? I picked up a loose copy earlier this year for $50
>>12885225Because they ALSO are trying to invest in something they see value. They always completely miss the point when they complain about something, they can never see themselves as part of the problem, only YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.
>>12884329It already popped a few years ago. Welcome to the future.
>>12885212This. 95% of those retro collections will dip, but what you are looking for be it Pokemon, Mega Man, Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Final Fantasy, Street Fiighter, I can go on and on. Those titles with millions of fans and historical reach which have a market value won't be going down anytime soon. The reality is most games cost less today "CIB" than their original 80s/90s MSRP of $60-$70 with inflation (which today would be around $130-$150)
>>12884329what sealed? do you know how lucky a game has to be to make it 40 years and still stay sealed, think of the discipline this owner had to have to not open it, surviving all those house moves and nosey vistors. Get some pictures and print a box if it matters that much.>>12885518Songbird even still sells sealed atari games. How much are old Beatles records, not that much, they peaked in the 80's and 90's.>>12885195The Casio Loopy, a very rare system I got real cheap and with a game
>>12884330>Millennials are the new BoomersLmao
>>12884329Old stuff becomes valuable. It's just how it is. Complaining about a 40 year old NES game being expensive would be like complaining about early Batman comics from the 1940s being expensive. Like, duh. Fortunately old Batman comics get reprinted cheaply. As do Mega Man games.
>>12886483People who cared about Atari and the Beatles are in their 60s and 70s now (Some even 80s)They are not the buying market anymore.
>>12887039Old stuff becomes speculated by sleazebag commie subversives using socialist tactics while blaming capitalism.
>>12887034Literally
>>12884330The reason that stuff is valuable is because hardly anybody held on to a lot of it, or if they did, it wasn't kept in good condition. There's probably a bunch of "garbage" now that Gen Z and Alphies grew up with/are growing up with that will be valuable in the future, it just remains to be seen what it is. >>12885212Yep. Like everything else, game collecting got infested with normalfags who pay out the ass for common shit because durrr I know thing!!!
>>12884330That was only part of our generation, there are plenty of millennials who hate niggers and trannys (born 85 here)
