So maybe not the NES console, those are still only moderately pricy even in mint condition due to the extreme number of consoles made, but certainly if you bought a stack of Little Samsons and Mr. Gimmicks and Panic Restaurants for $39 each in ’93 and sat on them until today you would be set for a while: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F233057313810 https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eb... Yes, the ROM can be had for free and the experience of playing the game is identical. No, a collector doesn’t care.

But a game is not a system...There are def individual GAMES that are bananapants expensive (I'm looking at you Super Copa!) but the systems aren't as expensive. Maybe I'm just being pedantic?

  No I think you get it even better than I laid it out. The extreme or rare ends are where nostalgia meets numismatics. The casual nostalgics are happy with emulators, hence the systems not being expensive. Still enough SNESes out there to placate the the small number of people that want the original.

  I think you need to check the prices on mint unopened nes consoles.
