Is it because children of the 80s and 90s only have video games to remember as far as toys that are still functional? Boomers have cars, comics, and baseball cards, gen x/millenials have video games and, I guess, Pokemon cards?
There's nothing else I really collect to be honest so it's easy to see why prices are what they are, but good God. $2,000+ for Scuptor's Cut. $400 for Stunt Racer. as someone who wants to save money for a house/retirement, I can't justify spending over $200 on a video game. I don't know who the CEOs are that are causing prices to have skyrocketed but this has become a rich man's hobby over night.
