I believe the value stems from these factors: very limited availability, demand and aesthetics (which also fuels the demand).įrom a collector's point of view, having both systems and any others they might release in the future would ultimately result in the 'complete set' vibe that some might be shooting for and that might help the prices of the Classic NES to increase.especially as more and more of them fall into collector's hands and they start disappearing from the marketplace.
#VALUE NES GAMES FOR FREE#
However, I doubt the value of these things have anything to do with the availability of the games since anyone just wanting to play them can either buy a real console and real cartridges or just emulate them for free on some device. In other words, if you want the NES games in the Classic NES format, then you have to get the Classic NES.
#VALUE NES GAMES UPGRADE#
It's not like the Classic SNES is an upgrade that happens to support all the NES games plus the SNES ones. I doubt it will decrease since the products are different. The people I despise are the ones that take unfair advantages to get products.like retail employees hiding products directly from the shipment or buying things before they were supposed to be sold. I also can't blame someone for taking the time and effort to legally buy a product and then turning around and legally selling it for more. People pay what they want to get something.īut sure there are people out there that will buy up multiple quantities just to resell, but remember they don't have a market to do that in without the manufacturer making the product limited and hard to find so we should probably blame Nintendo on this one. If the bidders took that to double or triple the original retail price, that wasn't my fault.that's the beauty of a free market. 5 6 As of 2017 copies of the game available on eBay and other similar sites usually sell for over 800 USD 7 to as high as 1,500 as of 2016. I for one have sold a few limited run items on eBay and every one of them was started at $0.99. Despite this, it remains one of the rarest games for the NES due to its late release during the consoles production cycle and a low number of copies produced. A lot of people probably bought one with good intentions and then once they saw what the market was doing, figured they could make a quick buck and possibly use that money to pay off some bills. Don't always assume that's what someone set out to do.
