icemanxp300 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 My aunt bought me this back in 2007 for Christmas. I was digging through boxes last week trying to organize and clean up and found this. It would take too long to upload pictures, so I took a few videos so you can see what prices were back a decade ago. Assuming this price guide was good back then. It has a few other sections in the back that I didn't show, but they had nothing to do w/prices. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKINNtDwvCc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjwHeC0R2KI ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeeperofLindblum Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 This is one of those "If I knew then what I know now" scenarios. It's crazy to see some of these titles for as cheap as they were! I tried looking for some of the big dollar titles that I know of, but one that stood out to me was Metal Storm for the NES. It said $5 in that book... I think it goes for like $100 now average. Glad I've accepted emulation into my life. Thanks for the cool share! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanxp300 Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Yeah it's crazy. Bonks Adventure and Flintstones Surpise come in at $45, Little Samson at $20, Gun-Nac at $12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 It also shows how artificial and insanely fast these inflated in a 10 year period, and if broken down over even more recent years say the last 7 it makes it even more clear on a game by game or total system average value too (sticking to loose carts.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 It's simple. Millennials have money now and they want to buy the stuff they had as kids. In an instant-gratification world, you can have just about anything you want.... if you're willing to pay for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an instant-gratification world, you can have just about anything you want.... if you're willing to pay for it. I think using the term "Millennial's" for the people who grew up with nes, snes, and genesis is a bit much. I would say Millennial's grew up more with N64, Gamecube and such. Your principle still stands I just don't consider myself a Millennial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I get it. I was born in 1983. Technically I am a Millenial, and most of my childhood was the VCS, NES, and the TI-99/4A. I am part of this group, so I really wasn't making a derogatory statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 There is an enormous split between gen x and millenial. No way someone born in 1982 could have a baby in 2002 and both be grouped into the same demograhpic. I consider millineals to be anyone too young to remember 911, especially those who grew up with internet and smart devices. Many of them are adults now. Mostly the "nes kids" belong to generation Y, which I identify with. If you're an 80s baby, you'll fit right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Yea, the accepted definition of Millenial is anyone born between 1982 and 2000. I don't agree or disagree, but that's the standard accepted definition. I remember waiting in line to buy Mario 3 and getting our first dial up modem, our first VCR, and I had a black and white TV as a kid, so that sort of separates me from the tablet/internet kids.

Oldschool80skid Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Remember when cable TV had these remotes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotterpop Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Remember when cable TV had these remotes? YES! I remember mine was a sliding tab with a tuning knob at the end. I used to love getting those cable company brochures in the mail with all the movie times in them. Making sure I had plenty of blank VHS tapes on hand and planning my recording sessions were a ritual for me. Ahhh, the 80s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Lol!!! I saw one of those once. We never had cable until the mid 90s though... hell, we didn't get a VCR until about 1989. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotterpop Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Actually no, but after a quick Google search I think I found the exact one we had. Still rockin' that woodgrain though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
