Just to clarify, Jobst is talking about the sealed, high end gaming market. The used copy of Mario Party 3 you are waiting to buy is still $60. The open prices are the ones I care about, because they affect me the most (and I would wager, 99.9% of collectors).
Specifically new, sealed, graded games.
My friend with his sealed copy of the original Battletoads will be absolutely devastated! /s
I mean, he was never in it for the money? He's just a weird nerd.
If anything this is great news for actual collectors, since they can probably find what they want for much cheaper now
Glad I unloaded Conkers Bad Fur Day when I did, sad that I no longer have Conkers Bad Fur Day.
The fact that games are listed with the same exact picture for 90% the price really feels like those first sales were fake by the auction house to drive it up.
