Well, the bubble's bursting - Dark Jaguar - 8th November 2023
Those horrible scalpers that butted their way into our hobby to artificially jack up the prices? It looks like that didn't go so well for them. The prices are plummeting, and they're under a lawsuit in any case. Here's hoping they leave to some other hobby like... leaf collecting. Yeah leaf collecting. Let's see them madly running around and scraping up every last leaf in front of our homes and trying to inflate the prices of leaves.
Give it another year. We might actually be able to collect retro games for reasonable prices again. Super Mario Bros. is NOT worth hundreds of thousands. It's Super Mario Bros! EVERYONE owns a copy!

It's certainly good to see their "how about we sell games to our friends and colleagues in an effort to con people into thinking that our slabbed games are worth a lot more than they actually are" scam is falling apart, may it continue to do so!
