![]() ![]() Gaming-adjacent nostalgia items were also out of control. It’s not just the games that have gotten ridiculous, either. Volumes 2 and 1 from my collection – pretty much my most prized gaming possessions. And it’s in great shape! Today, that same game fetches a whopping $180 on eBay. The copy I got was complete-in-box (CiB) with the soundtrack disc. I managed to snag Silent Hill 3 in mid 2020 for around $60. Not sure why, but it supports my theory that the market has gone completely crazy. Capcom 2 has dipped considerably, but the Silent Hill games are continuing to spike. Values are still increasing across the board, but not as rapidly.Īnd somehow, certain Playstation 2 games seem to be resisting the post-COVID price decline. ( Check it out!) Now that the pandemic has settled a bit, the price spike has slowed down. I wrote a pretty viral article in 2020 about how completely insane PS2 prices were getting. ![]() And if you manage to find a good deal (here’s my partner link to eBay), I suggest you grab it. Keep in mind, though, that it’s still cheaper today than they were 6 months ago. ![]() Today, you’d be hard pressed to find it under $100. I remember picking up the Castlevania Double Pack pack for Game Boy Advance for around $25. They only got really expensive over the last couple of years. For all! Classic games were dirt cheap 10 years ago. And by that I mean the games were almost literally free. Retro Game Prices May Have Peakedīut seriously, if you had started collecting retro games a decade ago, it was a free-for-all. Oh, and also: Retro game prices have gone through the roof and retro game sellers are completely nuts. Who would have thought that while I lose the precious locks from my scalp, I can also grow a whole new goatee in my pants? That includes not only the hair on my head, but the hair on my body. If getting older has taught me anything, it’s that everything changes. ![]()
