    no way theyre done rising

    old games will always be rare, and in high demand. look at all bally williams games over ten years. one hundred percent increases and even more for almost every release from 1990 til 1998. I can't believe it, but it's true.

    If you were lucky enough to buy some of those titles even five years ago, you are now looking at double value for your game if you decide to sell. nostalgia is valuable, and always will be.

    as Stern dilutes the value by releasing vault editions, the prices may recede, but in ten years, when Stern is officially done making certain titles like IMDN, JP2, GODZ, and even less popular titles like TMNT, LZ, and SW, the prices will slowly increase.

    I don't think I'm alone in believing that the hobby will expand significanly, as it has done in the past four or five years, for at least ten more years. People are looking for a real, tangible entertainment experience. We have seen gamerooms and arcades explode back into our cities, which is awesome. The reason is obvious; Gen X moms and dads want to take their kids to these amusement spots to see what real gaming and amusement is, instead of letting them tune out into a console, tablet, or phone. Pinball and arcade games offers so much more than those other "App" type games on other platforms. there's no comparison.

    also, as boomers retire and have more disposable income, and as GenXers make more money, there will be higher demand for new games and used games alike. Its impossible to believe that this demand will decrease in the next decade or more.
