Damon Plus Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 A few days ago I searched a Lynx game (don't remember which) on Ebay, and was surprised to see it so high priced. I did a "sold items" search, and games are starting to get expensive! Loose California Games and Todd's Adventures in Slime World have been sold for more than 10€ I remember when you could get a 5 game pack of common games for those 10€, and you can barely get one of them now for that price. Has the price bubble finally arrived to our beloved Lynx? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_afternoon Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Supposedly, after over 20 years, the New Old Stock is finally....sold. When I came here in autumn 2010, there were also more Atari-dealers around than now. Plus, which is actually very desirable, I believe the recent hardware upgrades have really pushed the Lynx hobby forward and won new players, especially those guys who before on did not like the "classic" screen vision .

cowdog360 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I'm hoping the SD cart starts pushing the price down on the traditional carts. I'd still like to get a pretty complete collection, but I know most people are probably just going to want a Lynx, a multi-cart and the McWill LCD.

jdollatari Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 i could see the upgraded hardware helping a bit and old stock and dealers depleting being a factor but also just the market for games collecting overall is a nightmare and it finally hit this system. i too will just get a multi cart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zookeeper Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I think there's a law of economics that every collecting hobby must eventually be ruined by people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syn Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I'm hoping the SD cart starts pushing the price down on the traditional carts. I've noticed the opposite happening with othrr systems. People are trying more games and seem to want a physical copy of their new favorite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the flash cart will have a low production run and join the rising prices of everything. If the Skunkboard for the Jaguar was any indication.

Andromeda Stardust Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 ^^I think the guy making them will continue as long as there is demand. About 400 on the wait list currently with no sign of slowing down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Probably the flash cart will have a low production run and join the rising prices of everything. If the Skunkboard for the Jaguar was any indication. I'll continue to make the LynxSD while there is demand for it -- I've got things fine tuned pretty well now such that the effort on my side is sustainable given the spare time I have. I completely understand why a lot of hardware is produced in limited numbers, or never gets past prototype stage. It's bloody hard graft to get as far as manufacturing any number of units! I'll quite happily make 1,000, 10,000 -- however many people are willing to buy! Although in reality I don't think demand will push it much over 500, but we'll see.

jdollatari Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 hell 500 is pretty good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_afternoon Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) I've noticed the opposite happening with othrr systems. People are trying more games and seem to want a physical copy of their new favorite. Exaclty. I think the multicart is a win-win situation for both gamers only and game collectors.
