I agree, I will probably emulate any game possible (under PS2 generation) but buy the games if I ever go to a retro store (games I can play of course, like the PS2 that I bought a few months ago with games).

@the Game, Review and Reallife Channel Thats what im talking about, people are throwing money for a plastic, not knowing the insides are being destroyed
A lot of used games are priced $60 to $120. Some games like Klonoa is $700 used. That is insane. The game is not even that rare. Just scalpers buying them up and selling them high at ridiculous prices and then brining out another of the same game. Wata Games is also guilty of getting the prices rising by lying how expensive they should be. I've seen games behind the counter or in the case not move at all for years due to high prices, but they keep them there until someone somewhere is stupid enough to purchase it at such a stupid price, usually collectors with deep pockets and everyone else is just screwed.
I went to a store once were they were selling donkey Kong on NES for 25 dollars you get like 10 minutes of gameplay out of that for 25 dollars and sonic mania cost 20 you can not tell me Donkey Kong on NES is worth more than freaking Sonic Mania
Yep I agree that’s why I have ever drives and odes for each one of my consoles and have the complete rom sets at my fingertips so I definitely get my last laugh 😂 since they charge silly prices for those old cartridges and cds because I’ve heard that cds are prone to disc rot and cartridges will fail eventually.
I just got the rom for og thousand year door. Look i'll pay 49 and 40 bucks same time for sly collection(40 greedy af), amd simpsons hit and run(49). But 90. No way

At my local game store there’s this PlayStation demo disc of Half Life 1 which is sealed. Apparently the story behind them is rare, especially sealed. Idk how rare cause I collect a bit of Nintendo, PlayStation 2 and up along with all Xbox consoles. It was $590.99 which was CRAZY for a demo disc. The story of how it got there was from a worker who didn’t know the value or the story. He traded it in for like $250-$300? Idk store cash is like that, he didn’t care and took cash. Still there today nice and sealed
It could be in mexican currency tho… as of writing this comment the 1 peso is 0.058 dollars, so if we multiply 0.058 x 1100 we will get as price 63$ with 8 cents
I love going to these store but prices are so expensive. I iust look cause i now i cant afford it. Even if i could im not willing to pay that much. Somtimes you will find good deals.
Basic economics. Supply and demand. It’s not a conspiracy. These stores aren’t getting rich. In any retail environment you analyze the highest cost items have the lowest margin. Please do some basic research instead of being angry at how money works.
Just buy a damaged copy for cheap or the insides, get a baseplate nes cartridge case, print out the lable. There you go, the game for cheap. And technically its authentic just refurbished
its probably his personal copy of that game hence the 1100$ price! thats the "i dont wanna sell it price" anyways id never ever in a million years pay 1100$ for a game! if i did it bettery include a new old stock nes a crap load of games and a free crt tv at 1100$ holy shit dude!
I blame WATA cause they only in it for the money, they made retro gaming/ collecting worse for those who go after the ancient legends when the disk didn’t exist, some disk games you hear are over $100 but not so many compared to cartridges and such

Reason the price is so high is only because its rare, other than that its likely a terrible game that isnt even worth emulating, only worth something to collectors.
