I recently bought an NES and 30 games bundled together for90 dollars. While I was looking through the games, I decided to check up on the value of some of them through pricecharting. I was surprised to see Donkey Kong has risen in price so much. Any reason why? I would never think to hunt down a copy of DK in a million years on the NES.

Retro games bubble
It'll burst in the next five years like every other period of overvaluation in market history.

I assume you are right. I hope it bursts and only actually rare games fetch a high price.

My thoughts exactly. Over 30 dollars for Donkey Kong on the NES? Seems extremely silly.

I bought ocarina of time for 14€ in 2010, and it was in mint conditions.
Now good luck in finding one in these conditions for less tha 120€.
I hope this stupid fad dies, and it will never be soon enough.

Just like comics and EPs right?
>burst
Maybe in a hundred years like stamps - but probably more like coins i.e. not

Even better:
>cost of item in 1987: $40
>cost of item in 2017: $20
>"""bubble"""

Daily reminder that if you think there's a "bubble" going on, you should sell your whole collection RIGHT NOW. Put it all on eBay. Show us the listing.
You'll buy it later at lower prices, right?

That's what people were saying five years ago.

???
5 years ago i could still go to a flea market and pick up a copy of sonic or mario world for less than ten ausbux.
I mean, yeah people have been saying it for a couple of yeasrs now but the retro price rise didn't really start going into overdrive until late 2013 yo early 2014

There is no bubble, only a market that has a growing number of consumers looking at an ever smaller supply. These items aren't expensive enough to have a great crash and fall off, and the games that actually sell for hundreds are legitimately rare like PDS (Earthbound being the only exception).
There's no market over-saturation when there's a finite number of, say N64 games, in circulation that only gets smaller with each collector buying one or them simply breaking.

Collectors dump their shit all the time
