Okay, I have been completely away from video game collecting for about the last year and upon my return about a month ago I have noticed some things that I was curious about.
I have seen some auctions and heard some people talk about Caltron 6 in 1 prices being upwards of $300, and Myriad being upwards of $400-$500 dollars. The way I remember it, Caltron is less than a $100 game complete. I know i've had at least 4 of them pass through my collection at one time or another and I have never paid more than $70 for a complete one. As for Myriad, it is the only NES game that I have never owned, but I don't ever remember a complete copy going for more than $300 let alone a loose one.
So, to the question.......are these really high prices actually the going rate for these games now? If so, are there any others that have seen a major spike in the last 12-18 months? With these prices I think there are some items in my collection that I may have to let go of soon.
