Before I clicked this topic I assumed you meant the price some of OG GameBoy titles go for these days.
I know they're in naturally high demand, but I feel like "collectors" that treat the whole thing like an investment scheme are to blame. With how Pokemon exploded in the 90's there is no way those games arn't actually more common than dirt.
That's the way it goes with a lot of collectibles. Even things that were sold in massive amounts get lost, damaged, discarded, and when they become desirable again, demand outstrips supply. People see they are worth money and think, 'fuck, no. I'm not selling for less than stupid money'.
Hell, I'm not selling mine, so blame me too I guess.
