What drives the price is condition the game is in with or with out original packaging, condition of the disc or the label on a cartridge, how rare is the game, how good a game is, how much demand there is for that game. I own ET on the 2600 and Superman 64 just to say I own two shitty games. Prices are only going to go up because of this stuff is getting rarer and rarer out in the wild because collectors are sitting on this stuff on their shelves. I like to collect but I am not going to go out of my way to buy a game like Earthbound for my SNES collection. I have played the game and it’s not for me I collect games that pique my interest and that I enjoyed playing as a kid. If a game does not pique my interest I am not going to collect it. Best way to save a bit of cash when looking for a game is look under the untested section for games on Ebay. I did that with Shinobi for the SMS I know its a gamble but all the pins needed where a little iso alcohol and the game runs great. I even bought a few untested consoles little elbow grease new thermal paste here new disc drive belt and I have two working og Xboxes. Untested sold as is is a big gamble I have had a few duds but I ended up winning more then losing. I even bought a broken Saturn and Dreamcast took out the lasers and now they can boot from an SD card.
