I’m so tired of hearing the complaints about the rising costs of video games and vintage anything.
Wait… that was me too.
But I don’t care anymore… and I’ll tell you why at the end—
Remember when you could score a complete Super Mario Bros. 3 for around $20 pretty much anywhere? Well, now that same game sells for more than a high-priced dinner with your spouse!
Retro video games have shifted from nostalgic mementos into investment-grade collectibles, and the internet is not pleased.
But who’s to blame for this price surge? In a world of resellers, influencers, and grown adults hoarding Panzer Dragoon Saga for the Sega Saturn like it’s the actual Holy Grail, things have gotten frustratingly expensive.
