More people are getting into the hobby. Also the ridiculous high prices of today's NIB machines are making older titles increase in price.

A NIB pin today is anywhere between $4800-$9000. Those are very expensive products at those prices. Does a nice Fish Takes or Road Show at $2800 really sound that unreasonable considering NIB prices? No. TZ at $5500 and STTNG at say $4500 for nicer examples seem fair considering what a NIB pin at that $5k price point comes with.

The continued price hikes for NIB games and more people coming into the hobby are driving prices on older titles up.

Quoted from inhomearcades:

I will never purchase another used car. It took two vehicles to figure that out. Once I purchased new, I will never go back to used. Financially, it all depends, used usually does not make sense between interest rates and the unknowns associated with a used vehicle.

I would recommend certified pre owned then. You get an additional warranty in addition to what is left on the original one. My wife and I both purchased certified pre owned vehicles and each received 2% interest rates. I've put about 50k miles on my Prius since I purchased it over two years ago and there hasn't been an issue.
