Not to mention they are quality boards worth preserving.
That PCJr game Kings Quest I saw on Ebay last week went for $761 USD before that I saw them going from $150-250. Few years ago $25... well I'm guessing someone was watching last week's auction as one just went up for $1300.
I don't mind the free market doing its thing but sometimes it just makes me sit back and laugh....... and cry at the same time.

As much as it sucks to see these massively inflated prices, it is a small consolidation prize that they are being preserved. If there was no demand for old hardware and boxed games, a lot of this stuff would end up in a landfill. Either way it would be hard for us to get our hands on them.
