Just to clarify, Jobst is talking about the sealed, high end gaming market. The used copy of Mario Party 3 you are waiting to buy is still $60. The open prices are the ones I care about, because they affect me the most (and I would wager, 99.9% of collectors).

Specifically new, sealed, graded games.

My friend with his sealed copy of the original Battletoads will be absolutely devastated! /s

I mean, he was never in it for the money? He's just a weird nerd.

If anything this is great news for actual collectors, since they can probably find what they want for much cheaper now

Glad I unloaded Conkers Bad Fur Day when I did, sad that I no longer have Conkers Bad Fur Day.
