Great questions. The "all games" line is adjusted for each chart so you can see relative movement. The line is the exact same, but just shifted so it is more helpful in seeing relative movement. Here is a all video game prices chart if you want to see that article and the real prices.RadarScope1 wrote:Wow. That's quite thorough. So it looks like if you want to buy, the best time is right after Halloween. I just got a SNES2 on eBay. Hope I didn't get ripped off....
One thing I didn't understand about your chart was that while the "all games" graph was the same line in every chart, it seems to begin in different places. It's $13 in a couple of them and closer to $17 and $10 in two others.
Interesting that PS1 games were so much higher than the average. I wouldn't have expected that. Is it a few of the rarer RPGs bumping up the overall average??
With the PS1. I do think the higher priced games bring the average up quite a bit. PS1 probably has the most expensive "rare" games (either that or the Saturn) so that does bring up the results even though most games on PS1 are probably quite cheap.
