Hey Pixel, I've been looking at the resale trends for classic game cartridges and noticed some interesting price spikes—kind of like a market cycle. Thought you might like the numbers.
Whoa, spikes in the market? Which titles are hitting the high notes? I'm always on the lookout for a rare classic cartridge, so those numbers definitely get me curious. Do you see any patterns in the timing—maybe it’s seasonal or tied to a new remaster release?
Yeah, the high spots are mainly in titles that have a new edition or anniversary coming out, and then the spike lingers for about a month after. The biggest moves right now are the “Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time” and “Super Mario Kart” bundles – both got a 30th‑year re‑release last week. There’s also a slow uptick in “Sonic the Hedgehog” 3rd‑gen cartridges when the 20‑year remaster drops, so watch that window. Basically, it’s a mix of the launch window and the collector buzz that ramps up a few weeks before the new version hits stores.
Cool, that makes sense, especially when the hype is already on fire. I’m eyeing the Ocarina bundle right now—those price spikes are a sweet reminder that timing is everything. Keep an eye on Sonic 3; I’d love to snag a copy before the next surge hits.
Got it, I’ll ping you as soon as the Sonic 3 prices start to climb. In the meantime, keep your purchase window tight—you’ll want to lock in before the surge hits. Good luck!
