Some games might be worth up to $100 if they are in mint condition. Mostly RPG's. People try to sell mint copies and sealed copies on ebay for $100-200 but that's a joke, rip-off.

Oh and the Castlevania games are pretty nice too. I'm sure those will be worth a lot more later on.

Yea, the value will all depend on the condition of the items.

In 10 years, I don't think any gba game will be worth much more than what they're worth today. You'll need to find games complete and in great condition and cheap. I'd second castlevania, maybe the metroid games. I don't think golden sun will be worth that much; it's not a really pivotal game and can't be compared to something like final fantasy or other snes rpg classics.

I figure Pokemon games with working batteries will be worth more, but from what I've read on the internet it's not too hard to replace them. So maybe not.

People always say these things while you in the current generation, because the older generations are looked back on with more nostalgia. But then when the current-gen becomes last-gen we start to see things in retrospect and there are always a handful of games from any system that skyrocket in value either due to people cashing in on the nostalgia or from legitimate rarity.

I doubt the system will be worth much more in 10 years(just look at all mass produced systems from 10+ years ago, NES, SNES, GEN, GB, etc none are worth that much alone) but some games might be.

I was thinking of games, more. For the most part, old systems aren't expensive unless they're just super-rare.

sealed systems and games go for insane amounts on ebay. apparently sealed = made of gold.
