I bought all my retro consoles and games when they were really cheap. I got a Japanese Dreamcast with 20 games( including Shenmue 2) and a mint Arcade Stick, all for ?25 back in 2005. Those were the days when people didn't think much of old gaming stuff. Now you get people selling NES cartridge only games for $250 or more. I love old school gaming, but none of it is worth the crazy prices people are paying these days.
Of course, if you're clever and lucky, you can invest in some old games, then make a big profit later. Maybe lots of retro stuff will keep going up in price.. until Yoshi's Island boxed mint.. is ?500 or more. It could happen.Last edited by Leon Retro; 10-05-2014, 02:49.

I just noticed this today too, there seems an ever increasing trend of popular saturn games to flirt with the ?100 mark on the ebay, how does this compare to shops in Japan? i've had a few well priced items from hit-japan on ebay in the past but I checked out their shop gameofjapan.com and there's some really high prices in there for more popular titles.

It's now another one of those games that I wish I'd bought ages ago when it was cheap.
I just can't see why these games suddenly become so dear it's beyond me, also one of the reasons I'm seriously considering giving up on retro totally.
I can't justify the prices anymore, I know I'll regret it as I have done in the past but games just aren't worth anywhere near what they seem to be these days & IMO the cost really outstrips any fun to be had playing them.

I agree, I posted about a SNES console a couple of weeks back, they go for so much more money now than they did a year ago it seems, even the tatty yellowed ones, and a game in it's box is just so much 99% of the time just can't justify it. Cartridge only all the way for me.
It's all ebay's fault!
