Good ones sold, bad ones used for repro parts?

What does it do for gamers and gaming? It draws attention to our hobby and highlights one of the darkest times in gaming history. I was a boy at the time and literally, gaming was dead. Most people at the time thought that gaming was dead forever. It's a reminder. It might spark more interest in the Atari 2600. So we might finally see those games move from a $1 to $5.

Why would price bumping be a good thing? Game prices are starting to get ridiculous as it is. Story wise it makes an interesting piece but thats as far as I see it. Plus I feel like a another collapse would be good and needed.

If anything, prices should come down. After all, there's going to be a large supply of games hitting the market that were never supposed to. I doubt that demand will suddenly increase by a greater amount than the supply of games for sale.
