Good luck if you think these prices aren’t here to stay. Might they come down a hair at some point....sure. But these early video games (In the life span of video games, like baseball cards) will only go up over time. 

As a seller of loose/playable games full time and a collector of CIB / sealed. IMO There’s 3 different things going on right now

1) the increase in loose, playable games, seems directly related to the quarantine, right? That should level off at some point. And should look much like the graph of total virus cases. When it goes down so will these prices. It’s tough to get loose inventory for the time being. Anything good anyway. the prices are so volatile. 
 

2) The increase in sealed prices, ( which I think you and Jone are answering for? ) Clearly, a completely different crowd of buyers. Sealed games have been on the increase steady since the fall of NA / Rise of WATA . Seems to have inflated during 2020, likely for a number of reasons. Don’t see that freight train stopping either. Agreed on that aspect
 

3) The cib, casual collectors market has been pretty steady, with some exceptions, which can be attributed to, new eBay users paying more because they don’t know (there’s a fuck ton of them), and catching the collecting BUG at the same time, and then the more seasoned collectors...with extra stimulus money, checks, etc. finally being able to knock off some heavy hitter checkmarks? 
 

GameCube and N64 have a habit of falling into both collectible/playable so they’re seeing the most spikes in sales, but Also, just the sheer number of sales is impressive .through 2018-2019 games were actually getting harder to sell. Loose N64 games like Mario kart went from average 50$-35$ over the past few years, until 2020.

You expected people to be civilized in NH??  

Have you ever been? It’s consistently voted the #1 state to live 

Not missing anything many of this guys auctions are going well above average. Seller just got 10/10 prices for his, what I noticed, was mostly 7.0 and a few 7.5s. All dollars and no sense with these bidders. 

Hey ya’ll. Finally made it over here from the defunct NA, I was a member there for nearly 10 years... (RIP) Hope this site is as good as the original NA! I’m hearing great things! As long as we’re not talking about ONLY values and WATA graded MTPOs, and Mario bros...the same games over and over, then we should be cool
