Surely if I stick up for rich people on the Internet I'll eventually get a sweet job offer from them, right?

If you don't like video games then why did you even come to GameFAQs?

I dont know. But Japanese collecting is supposed to be cheaper. For who knows why, used games in Japan haven't rocketed in price. Even Famicom games can still be found for cheap

I dont know why American prices are so high

I don't think TC's referring to YTers buying retro games. I think they're referring to the fact that YTers making it a more mainstream thing is what caused prices to increase to absurd heights at times

EDIT: Reading your post again, that's likely what you're discussing as well so disregard my post. I just got out of bed.

yeah, the blame is on "investors" and speculators who only see it as a moneymaking scheme. durrr comic books baseball cards, mabby vido gam worth a lot too???

and when they weren't the golden tickets they expected, they started a straight up fraudulent feedback loop with Wata, where they get Wata to grade games, say "oh yeah, this is a million dollar game," then do these private auctions
