Mmhh: a lot of interesting cartridges there (MVS and PC-Engine also).
Too bad there's no "Buy Now" option: I hate to have to wait 10 days, with a chance to be overbidded at the last 5 minutes...

Auch at Konami Synthesizer... It's a rather useless piece of software... Only collector's value I guess?
But who wants to spend a months wages on only that box in his cabinet

I guess some collectors are crazy enough.
If you look at f. ex some highest Nes games prices, this doesn't feel so high after all.

And then imagine what they cost in the shop in the release year...
Recent releases will never reach those crazy prices, they'll only drop and then be forgotten...

Oh but they will. Not the "normal" releases most likely, but you will have limited editions that will become very pricey.

Take for example this one here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Elminage-Original-Limited-to-300-C...

Just 300 copies of that edition were released in August 2013 for a mere £29.99 (see here: http://www.ghostlight.uk.com/games/sony-psp/elminage-origina...). The game was released digitally in the US and Europe, but as said it also got released physically on just 300 (numbered) copies.

In the short period since its release I've seen copies of it being sold for over £100 already. Pretty sure it will only go up from there once people start to really collect PSP games. Which basically starts now, with the system being almost completely off the market.

Yes, this is not cheap, but as always this is a matter of how much you want this game and how much you want to pay for it.
It is not a "real" game but no one will doubt its is a very rare item and very desirable for collectors.

Its the same than EC-700, that one is even less useful and i sold my spare one for 2000 euros a few months ago (at least u can do some music with Synthesizer! hehe)
