Comment on Who buys crazy expensive "new retro" consoles and why?
squaresinger@lemmy.world 1 week agoNah, I don’t mean why do they have more money and thus can afford stuff.
The question is why is the original console worth so much more to them than the alternatives?

Social media turning every hobby into a “hustle”
“Retro, Vintage” old stuff in general is trendy right now. And people saw this and bought up as much cheap stock as they could and raised the prices to insane levels because all the cheap stock is now own by them…
That’s a very oversimplified explanation but it’s affected more than just retro consoles.
