Nothing like a hobby where the more manufactures that come in, the prices go up

Well technically the market had MM at a higher price than AFM and MB, so not horrible. But I didn't consider buying mmr because I cared what collectors paid for their original or what pps's next game would cost. I wanted MM. MM is my fav game, I could care less about the other stuff, as long as I got the game because I wanted it and could afford it. If originals sold for well under 8k, I'd go get an original. But they list at the same or more, and I HATE old boards and solder. I'll go new any day at that price point vs original.

before the VE they were going about 6k or so
