Thread: will video games be valuable in the future?

    Yeah, I'm keeping my old cartridges safe from myself for now...So in the near future I can sell them for about...$30.

    No, I don't think their price will increase SO much, they'll only get to a point when they become rare and we'll start paying, like, twice the actual value of an original SNES cartridge, for example.

    Your kidding right? I have like 10 copies of the game. I had a dollar on one time at funcoland and bought a [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] load of copies when they were like 8 cents each.

    I know; I was only using Super Mario Bros. as an example. But in, say, eighty years, who knows?

    Many old games aren't worth much because you're buying them at EB games without the box or manual. A mint complete SMB1 cart costs SLIGHTLY MORE.

    0 bids says it doesn't.

    For the record I actually have The Legend of Zelda with everything...besides the map.

    Yeah, I guess there aren't any hardcore collectors interested in SMB1. I'm just saying that yes, games are actually worth more than what EB would give you for 'em. Seriously, most of the time the value of a used game assumes that you threw out the box, manual, and everything except the game media itself. People who do that annoy me.

    look they'll increase in price and be valuable just like any collector's item... they'll only be worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it, so the value of old video game cartridges in the future will be determined by none other than.... YOU. I mean, it all depends on how much you're willing to pay for it

    What'd be hilarious is if everyone threw out their ET cartridges so there was only one or two copies remaining in existance. Imagine how much that would drive the value up. For ET. Just think about it.

    Try looking for the price of a copy of Valkryie Profile online...that should answer your question.
