Title: Gameboy Carts
Post by: tp4tissue on Wed, 09 March 2022, 18:31:30
What's going on with these prices.

Tetris DX, one of the most common carts is $20+shipping

It was like $5-7 not long ago.

it's literally 20-40 somethings that have irrevocably ****ed the market, way back to 2019 when **** started getting really bad. Prior there was a huge spike in retro prices in 2016, but not like this. The grading bull**** was just the last nail to make retarded people who do zero research think their Mario that had hundreds of thousands of copies(millions?) printed is worth what some corrupt inside-trading hack of a human tells them it's worth.
The liars and ****wits have won, and completely ruined the hobby for everyone else. Just like everything else, the greedy scumbags and uninformed morons prevailed once more!

I ****ed off retro collecting like 2 years ago. I only go after specific things if there is no other way to play them (region exclusive PS1 and PS3 stuff mostly)
it was basically the only hobby I had any interest in anymore, now I just sit in the dark and stare at the wall thinking of better times
