You need to put a running total in your sig, so,we can see how you're getting on.  At the current rate it seems you'll be done in a month. Lol

I hear the same thing happened with comics in the 90s.

It's only valuable because no one thought it was going to be.

Yup, and I've been saying this all along. The bubble WILL burst. It does with EVERY collectible commodity.  It's and "when", not an "if".

I bought 2 of every image comic in the early 90's thinking they'd be worth a fortune. Prices on many shot way up after only a few months, so it seemed like a no-brainer. Amiibos are nearly identical IMO. EVERYONE knows that games are collectible now, which means that keeping brand new crap sealed isn't of ANY value. Got 5 Halo special Master Cheif whatevers sitting around, VGA graded, just waiting for the day that you'll cash in?  Good luck. So do 1,000 other people.

This is why I pretty much avoid expensive games right now, especially common stuff that's become extremely expensive.  The genuinely rare stuff will likely retail a good portion of its current value, but SMW sure as hell won't be worth $20 for too much longer. It's a $2 game, based on quantity available.
