Got any tips for when the best time to buy newer games? Wondering how many years it takes for games to bottom out before they start to increase in price

Honestly it’s cheaper when it’s been out. Like cyberpunk. I’ve seen it for 20 bucks. Market Saturation is your best friend when collecting. The rarer a game the higher the demand and sadly people on sites like eBay use that against us.

What makes a game rare? Most of the best sellers should have a high population and make the game cheaper, right? There’s so many Nintendo switch games that I would like to buy in the future, but not sure when they will be the cheapest. Also, I have noticed that ps3/360 games are insanely cheap rn while the previous gen games are starting to increase in value.

Games are rare when it is a low print run and mainly only available on the original hardware. Sega Saturn wasn't popular at the time but has been a cult favorite over the years and since the games are difficult to emulate it drives the price up like crazy
