...does it seem like here lately there are A LOT of people like me that are snatching up and hoarding legacy platform games? And mostly RPGs at that. I became addicted to collecting more for the love of the genre than anything else, but it sure seems like there is a lot more competition for the games I'm searching for than there was even 10 months ago. If I'm right and this is true, all of our collections are becoming more valuable by the day! Which is good, I guess, but if everyone else out there is like me and does not ever plan on selling their collections' off...then we're all in for darker days ahead having to pay $100+ for a used copy of FFVII...even though there are some up-teen million copies! Ridiculous, but probably more of a reflection on our current economy than actual lover's of the game.

Anyway, I ramble. Not sure of the point I'm trying to make...just more of an observation, I suppose.

it seems only a few games for each system are really pricey. i dont think any games that are cheap and old now are going to go up in price to much. most nes games can be had for a few dollars and its gonna stay that way.

It's always nice for me to go back from time to time to snatch up a buried treasure of some kind... just to remind me of a simpler time. :D

It depends what platform about which you are talking. Most Xbox games are pretty reasonable, though there are a few excpetions. Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 is still around $30 used at GameStop, and Marvel v Capcom 2 is about the same or more. Ninja Gaiden is still up there in price as well.
