Mainly looking at nintendo and pokemon related things, but the prices have gotten unbelievably absurd recently. Most pre gen 3 games are going for close to 100+ dollars and honestly 4th gen and below are looking just as bad. Colosseum and Gale of Darkness are easily 100-200$ now when they were signifcantly lower years ago. A notable game i like to mention is Fire Emblem Path of Radiance that I got for a birthday that cost less then 20$ is now a 400$ game minimum. Will these prices crash at some point as they climb to collector prices for used games?

You can blame collectors if you want.

I blame Nintendo for not making their games accessible digitally. At least Sony has the decency to make hard to find games available at a reasonable price online.

Collectors, prices for rarer games can only rise
I saw a Pokemon HG unopened collectors version going for 700 a couple months ago

People stuck at home want things to do.
People working from home have more time and money due to no commute.

And stimulus checks.

Also, the people who tended to buy gamestop and doge are gamer types.

So some of them got nice profits.

It's true. That's why I hold my old games closer than a tiny dancer.
