Will there ever be a TG16 price crash?

[Otaking]

So a year and half later are we any closer to a big crash? or are prices going to continue to rise?

Only when the flood gates of repros come out and are so hard to distinguish them and the real thing.

I wish the whole retro buying market would crash. maybe then I could snag me some more games and actually be able to play them and have a good time. Every time I see ebay prices anymore it makes me ill. I want to throw up... So, do i think there will be a crash? one day, yes. Can it happen soon enough at this point? Nope. Tomorrow would be nice.

Retro gaming in general needs to level out with the prices.Still i don't see that happening any time soon,there's to much demand these days.I hate it as well that it has become a trendy thing to collect old video games.

Honestly I think it will be decades before there is a "leveling out"

Price crash for retro games and systems will happen when they start to actually make good new games and new systems. Retro gaming is popular because everything new pretty much sucks.

Since most people never play the games they buy and flip, the quality of games from any time period has nothing to do with it. Just like other stupid fads like Beanie Babies, people are doing it for the thrill of flipping investments and making money off of each other. The adults who made up the high rolling Beanie Baby market weren't playing with their toys/investments and the market didn't crash because someone 'happened to start to actually make good new' Beanie Babies and Beanie Babie shelves.

Good point.  but it makes me winder if people have bought those shelves for thier video game collections now.   or converted.

New games suck so hard it's only an $80 billion market.

And Justin Bieber sold tens of millions of records. Just because it's popular doesn't make it good.
