CQ takes on the basic laws of economic supply and demand, surely we will win this fight. People are paying too high or too low prices for some things just because Pricecharting says so.

If you've ever said "Games are getting too expensive" are you talking about games you care about that matter, random hyped expensive trash, or the cost of trying to own literally every video game? The best games to collect are more affordable than virtually any other hobby, especially if your goal isn't to buy EVERYTHING. You'll never own a Babe Ruth rookie card, Action Comics 1, or 1794 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar, but even the most expensive million dollar games ever sold you can own the exact same thing for a couple hundred bucks CIB.
