When I was around 10 or 11 in 2006, I bought a copy of Sonic Gems collection on gamecube for about 20bux, with my own money, one of the first games I honest to God bought for myself.

A week ago, I went to a convention, and apparently it's worth much more. I forget whether it was over 80bux or even 100bux.

The hell happened?

@Anonfilly Investment market shenanigans, lots of speculators trying to make bank on old games and too many whales willing to pay inflated prices. It's fucked up and the era of cheap-ass used retro games no longer exists.
