ErickRPG | 42 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I've checked a few titles for SNES and Genesis and all of them went from like $130+ to under $90. Is this a time of year thing or something else? What explains the drop? Super Mario RPG, Shadowrun, Moonwalker all have gone down. And I bet if I check more the overall trend is prices down.

a3quit4s | 4,096 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Noticed that N64 is down as well as I’m trying to wrap up the complete set, loose. I did get Mega Man x3 for $140 in great shape last week too. Would have never thought that would happen last year.

ErickRPG | 42 Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 I'll be following this as I would like to build a small mint complete collection of snes, genesis, and n64. So far I've bought a few Genesis games and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my head i generally consider that $170 for the last year or two. With taxes for me that would be almost $180. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your right. I personally don't feel that it's fully corrected yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegHead | 127 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I have also noticed a downward trend on some titles that I follow, but I haven't been keeping track super close. Whether it's a temporary swing or a full-on market correction remains to be seen, I think. I do believe there is a bubble on many of these titles that won't hold, but that's just pure hopeful speculation on my part! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah true, good point dude! Def something I will consider. It's possible that's all it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhleo | 2,184 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I have to imagine with the economic uncertainty, all collectible markets will be trending downward. I've already seen a lot of people listing entire collections, or their own personal centerpieces up on eBay due to the coronavirus. I imagine if things don't get back up and running soon (which, they shouldn't for health reasons) then collectibles will quickly lose value as people begin sacrificing their non-essentials first.

Yeah, it's about time for Wii to get also nostalgiafied. The Wii was released Q4-2006 so, the 5 to 12 year olds from then are now 18-25 now. Though, with 1000+ games I don't see too many "full set" collectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been... 19 days since this reply, which I totally agreed with, and I'm looking at sold prices and shaking my head. Some stuff is down but then other stuff is way up. It seems crazy to me. Are people gonna regret buying stuff at these high prices in a couple months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ludicrous to assume old games were going to sink when the vast majority of America was given free money and a stay at home order, and video games sales were already on fire from what i heard. Assuming the economy gets back on track and doesn't just depress, they're probably going to keep a good chunk of their added value also.

docile tapeworm | 4,198 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 that wii stuff that is selling hot right now is going to end up in a dumpster fire when its all said and done.

Same for the Switch stuff. Lots of Ring Fits and Animal Crossings and so on will be hitting the market when everyone is back to work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have never thought that would happen last year. I got a nice copy last summer for 180 and was so fired up. Searched for that game in better than good condition at a reasonable price forever. So much for my good deal lol. Always wondered why certain Capcom snes games are so hard to find in good condition. Had a similarly crazy long search to find a decent final fight 3 at a price.
