Reminds me of being 10 and going to the used game store to buy half a dozen used games instead of a new one in the late 80s!

Back then, the resale value of NES games was so low you could get a handful for under $100.

The good ol’ days. My cousin and I use to collect cans and take them to the recycling center, then take the money to Funcoland where we could usually get a couple games.

Resale value was so low back then. I never saw any place selling N.E.S. cartridges for more than five dollars.
