1970s pachinkos were extremely cheaply distributed to North American stores in the early 1980s. 1980+ meant solid state pachinko innovations. On a downturn, pachinko machines only stuck around 6 months sometimes. But with the new solid state machines, the old ones were cycled out fast. That, combined with the North American disinterest in pachinko, are why the plentiful late-70s pachinko machines are only worth like $50-$90 in full working order

As someone who will probably be faced with that choice in a few years, my recommendation for the 84-year old gentleman is to grab some of his collection as a sampler, and take it to an antique show. Around where I live (Columbus OH) there's this Scott's Antique Show that runs one weekend ever month between November and March at the Ohio State Fairgrounds. There you will see several hundred small plots inside one of the buildings, with for the most part older people's stuff that they have spent a lifetime collecting, and are now hoping to get rid of in the twilight of their life. You can find virtually anything there (hell, last month I found an Entex Galaxian 2 handheld, missing the battery door but still works, for five bucks being sold by an old couple). But yeah, definitely plan for what to do with your stuff before you get too old. Some of the most depressing sights I have seen are when a person dies and what their family doesn't keep, just gets sent to the trash. One pile I saw some years back were letters from a couple's son from a Florida Army camp from 1942. This couple held onto this stuff for the rest of their lives, and then it just ends up on the curb.

And most of the games have been either re-released or the sequels are the same game but better. There’s few “blades of steel” type games anymore.

They keep referring to this notion that the reason prices have increased (and will eventually decrease) is simply due to nostalgia. The kids who grew up with the stuff are collecting it and will eventually sell and thus the potential buyers will not be interested as they themselves have no nostalgia for it and demand decreases substantially The problem with this if you take a closer look, the retro game market is attracting all demographics especially younger people who weren't born when these console were out. Elvis comparisons be damned video games are embedded into the culture of our youth. There are new retro collectors taking the place of the old retiring ones every day.

True.

Why collect something you remember only playing as a digital file on Steam?

@@andrewg567 - The early games of the 3D era did not age well, there is less nostalgia and much less desire to replay those games. Beyond that era, how do you collect digital-only games? We've already seen companies discontinue support of online stores for previous consoles, expect that to repeat. If Steam ever shuts down, all those games go away. Right now that seems impossible, but in 20, 30, 50 years, no one can say what will happen. I could see people collecting PS2/3/4/Xbox360/One games. But perhaps a big roadblock is that don't more and more of those games require post-release patches to really be playable or complete games? Once you can't patch a game to be playable, it's really just a fancy Frisbee.

Maybe not all the games, but certainly some of them. And point taken. I was about eight years old when the ps1 came out; I thought the graphics were amazing back then. But now...

Ian, I would think that the odd ball stuff that people aren't necessarily coming in for is something that you sell online. We have retro video game stores here in Arkansas called Game Exchange. The higher priced harder to find things usually sit around. It's not that they aren't worth what they are asking, it is just going to take someone that A. has the money and B. Needs/wants that particular item. Since they don't advertise online, nobody knows it's in there. For instance, they have a CIB copy of Gotcha Force on GC for $200. It's been sitting there for a couple of months now. I assume they don't sell on Ebay since it's still there. There hasn't been a copy of it go for under $140-$150 on ebay in 5 months. Not sure why they told me, but I asked about it because I thought whoever came to trade something like that in was mental and they told me he got like $60-$70 for it. Point is, if it's a desirable, unique, pricey item...online will catch the people hunting for it that will have the coin to pay for it. They know what it costs and just need to find it.

I have a player piano! Brand new rolls were available until 2005 (a lot of period-corrupt music such as Queen, Disney, Andrew Lloyd Weber etc.)with the Mastertouch name on them, but the pianos themselves had their heyday in the 1920's, and were of little value soon after when gramophones and radios became more readily available to the public. The rolls show up from time to time on online auctions, they're never worth much unless it's a particularly desirable tune, but it's not like gramophone records (also worthless these days) where there's a particular recording by a particular musician that puts the value and demand sky-high. Player pianos themselves are often a burden for people trying to sell them, and more often than not they just don't sell, or sell for very little money. Not only is their age a concern, a piano ideally needs to be tuned regularly to prevent it from becoming completely untunable. A player piano is also one hell of a complicated task to repair, with the required skilled technicians either being retired, dead, or just difficult to track down. And lastly, they're big, extremely heavy, and just a complete pain in the ass to move, which is more and more annoying, especially in an age where home ownership is becoming less common. That said, I still think older video games will still have some relevance in the future, as the video game industry is still in full swing, the same way some younger people like to boast about enjoying music their parents, or even grandparents enjoy, alongside their own modern preferences. That said, those old video games are available in other ways, just like being able to listen to The Beatles on Spotify, so the demand for owning physical items probably won't be there, but the games themselves will still stick around.

Ah, you guys really missed the mark. This happens when a hobby matures. If you collect comic books, you'd know you can go to any store, or any show, and find boxes and boxes of cheap stuff that doesn't sell well. We call it "drek". Same with coins. Go to any coin show or coin store, and you can find the bargain bin, filled with common stuff that's more interesting than pocket change, but not interesting enough to captivate the real collector. When a collectible market matures, it stratifies. Since millions of video game systems were sold, eventually, most everyone that wants an NES system will eventually find one. But there are only so many games still in the box, or sealed. Or in the box in pristine condition. Same with comic books. There's a lot of low grade stuff out there that's great to read, just like a beat up cart is fun to play, but neither are collected. For your collection, you want a really nice one that looks like it was just manufactured. By your definition, you're saying the comic book market is dead and I should sell my high grade, key, X-men issues. I should sell my slabbed high grade beautifully toned coins because nobody seems interested in the bent and corroded wheat cents that are sold out of an ashtray for 5 cents each? Come on. You need to distinguish between a true collectors item that would actually interest a collector, vs. a common game that exists in the thousands in low grade. OK, maybe the number of people trying to complete a collection of carts might be dropping, but you're also seeing more people paying better attention to spending their money wisely and more people are entering the top end of the market. People are figuring out that they need to park their money into rare and high grade stuff,... the game collecting genre isn't dying.

The only caveat to video game collecting is that there are millions of more people from the video game generation than from the piano roll generation.

Half scale means it's 1/8 the size of a real plane. It is half as tall, half as wide, and half as long.

I have been seriously contemplating over the last couple of months about downsizing my collection. Time to sell that dust collector Hagane and get the money in RRSP's for down the road.

I like to think that a lot of the people who have started selling their collections are the people who only got into it in the first place because it was the new cool KZbin thing and not because they wanted it. Now they look around realise that they have all this shit cluttering their house and they're like, I'm out!

Guess it depends on why you collect. Personally i tend to collect things that i like and want or maybe wanted as a kid or when i was younger. If they have some resellabiliy after i no longer find myself enjoying it great, if not oh well. I dont think investment collecting is a good idea. There are much safer and more lucrative things to invest in. Haha 🍻

Yes but your buyer pool is limited to what 50 miles, maybe 100 miles. And the vast majority will be dealers low balling to flip.

only a matter of time before this was going to happen. people move on and loose interest. ive been cautious as to how much I pay for these games since they jumped 10x in value to avoid buying something that is dead money. eventually the prices will drop as no one wants them anymore, the gamble is buy it now or wait

Yes we all die and collectibles comes in ebbs and flows, some things might never be collecteble again. Thats true, but then, why sell? At all? If im the only one intressted and it brings me joy, why sell? Why should i care what happends after im dead. When im dead its not my problem any more. I got a ton of old european comics nobody has read or even heard of for at least 30 years, but i find them amazing. If people burn them when im gone im not gonna notice.

Rarer stuff will never drop it'll be the common and the shovelware type stuff that drops in price. Your Little Samsons or Powerblade 2's or your Hagane will still be the same price if not higher.
