Bah… We all know what idiot was responsible for
that… <growl> >:( -josh -----Original Message----- Sorry to call out another
person (not sure if he/she is on this list), but one auction in particular that
amazed me was: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4315&item=8100294021&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW Hugh -----Original Message----- I was waiting for things to die down
a bit before bringing this topic up, but the last few weeks have brought an
extraordinary amount of activity on eBay…both in the number of good, old
PC games for sale and the prices being paid. My watch list has never been
so full. In fact, I’d say my watch list over the last few weeks was
as long as the previous six months (maybe a year). At least 3 individual
sellers had lots to offer: Hopey Rbgamehunter Carol!yahoo Combined with lots of one-off
sellers. But what really struck me was that
even with all the supply, the ending prices were just so much higher than
I’ve ever seen before. I would have expected prices to drop with so
much stuff on the market, but it didn’t happen. Things I’ve
seen go recently in the $10 - $30 range were going for over $100. Many of
the usual suspects were bidding, but the most noticeable was Peter (sorry to
call you out Peter), who by my rough calculations has dropped AT LEAST 10 grand
in the last 2 months. In some ways it is really great to
see games appreciating in value so much. Maybe we’ll remember March
and April 2004 as the months that Retro PC game collecting officially became
big business. Hugh |
