highlighted in blue is the period of time I was into retro game collecting. I thought the prices were getting absurd then, if I only knew...

I'm genuinely amazed at just, how big of a spike happened because of the pandemic. I mean it does make sense, people looking for a hobby they can do without being around other people, but it's still kinda fascinating to see it so clearly in the data like that.

glad flash carts are an option now at least, but dang, there's no way I could ever re-acquire my pre-2014 collection.

I’m just amazed the pandemic prices haven’t collapsed down to how they were before. I genuinely thought it would be a temporary bubble that would burst. At least that shows it’s stagnated?

The difference between average and median is really interesting. I guess the spike mainly occurred for a few games and the rest stayed similar or only increased gradually?

There are so many games that I've put off "til later" (Alien Soldier, namely) because I thought I'd eventually be able to buy it, but it's even more out of reach
