    I did manage to find a couple Saturn games at Goodwill today for WAY cheap...CIB to boot!!

    They are still out there, you just have to track them down.

    Agreed, not TOO many go for $40 or more. Most can be had for 20 or under.

    Anyway I completed my SAT collection August 2005, almost a year ago. So I haven't kept up with market prices but how are they currently? They dropped IMO in 2005 in general.

    Games like Burning Rangers dropped from 45 to 30-ish.

    Wouldn't shock me though if the Saturn market picked up again. It's all a cycle...
    Picked up again would be an understatment.. Guardian heros went for 190 (!!) on ebay the other week

    That's where I scored my Saturn; 14 CIB games and two controllers for a cool $28.

    If you think $40 is expensive for gaming collecting don't get into the NES where a good majority of them hit over $40 alot of the times. And more than you think hit into the hundreds with a few CIBs that hit in the thousands.

    I think if you can get the rarest game for a system for $200 that's easy collecting

    My Collection - Well, kinda. One of these days I will actually get a pic of the whole collection and post it on there. Until then, I only have a few games in there with some additional collection info stuff.

    Everytime I think to myself "Man, Saturn collecting is expensive!" I shortly therafter think "Well, at least Im not trying to complete a neo geo collection!"

    That usually makes me feel better.

    The only complaint I have is how I badly want a grey japanese saturn, but can only find them shipped from japan, where theyre way too expensive once you factor in shipping costs.

    Hounder said it all, but that's why you don't collect CIB stuff for NES. Good old cartridges only I say.
