Seems harder and harder to sll any games on ebay anymore I dont know if the resellers have just flooded the market so bad that they drove down the price of games or there just hasnt been a lot of new collectors. You almost cant give away a 2600 anymore and nes have not been bringing much more than 25.00

No offense, but could you please put a little bit more effort into typing your topics and posts? There are 2 typos in the title alone.

Anyways, the lower the prices the better. I wish prices here would drop. 5 euros for a common game is just too much, if you need 200 of them.

I don't check much on the US eBay for game prices, but I've noticed them dropping a bit here in some parts of Europe as well, but mostly just for the commons (could just be a change of season, though, since I've only been checking here for the past 6 or so months).  I also like it more when prices are high, because I still tend to find sweet deals all the time, so lower average prices just lower any profits I get from reselling.  I think that the latest trend seems to be that commons keep getting cheaper, and rare games keep getting more valuable.  At least the difference between the two is very obvious on the US eBay, whereas on the European eBays it seems as though all games are priced the same, with only very few exceptions (i.e. Rodland).

I personally hope that the "antique" video game market finds itself in the same hole that Comic books and baseball cards are in now.  There are as many resellers as collectors and prices are just insane for some stuff.  If values fall, resellers would get out of video games and we would be closer to where we were in the early 90's.
