I like the idea, at least a store that will charge more reasonable with some sort of return policy.

People who INVEST in retro games should be scared..  Gamestop will drive a lot of the pricing.  And you can almost bet they will be LOW for a while, then adjusted over time.  Should definitely shake up the environment over the "pricecharting" site.  The nice part might be some new interest in Retro games over all which will help create a more fluid market, vs. the stagnant one you see right now.  Might actually find more games at more yardsales! :)

On the flilpside though, I'm afraid that many people who don't know any better will assume that any old video game will be worth a boat load.  You'll see people asking $30 for Mario/Duck Hunt because it's "old."

Really? I feel the opposite and eventually there would be a lot less old games at flea markets
