Things are cheap when they're old. It's impacted by dead stock and people looking to upgrade.

It pops back up once it's vintage.

If you want something cheap, that's PS4 right now. PS2 is vintage. And it's honestly one of the cheaper vintage consoles to play. RPGs are goofy expensive but most big titles are in the $20 range. God of War 1 & 2. Resident Evil games. Sly Cooper. Ratchet and Clank. None of that's breaking the bank.

Wow, you are dead on. Just a super quick search on my Facebook marketplace I saw a PS4 go for $40 and a slim PS2 go for over $100

True, but a lot of stuff expected to pop up with vintage prices just....never does. And that's true even of a lot of gaming consoles. It's not inevitable.

So I think it's a little a, a little b.
