It's also a seller's market, because as they say in the video, buyers can't control the number of copies on eBay or the prices sellers ask for those copies. Refusing to buy at a high price doesn't work very well, as most sellers are content to relist their items for months on end, since they only need to find one rube willing to bite. Pretty much as soon as any game sells for a high price, that price becomes the new price floor, because some sap indicated he was willing to pay that much, and now all the other sellers want to try to get that price for their games, too.

Too late. That's exactly how they bombed the PAL Mega CD market.

Sell now.
example: Shenmue 1 DC, Shenmue 2 DC, Shenmue 2 XBOX
Make the crazy retro gaming pricing trends go in your favor for once.

And a sealed copy of Evolution 2 too...
