I am a fan of RPG. Both Japanese RPGs and Western RPGs.
But …. yes, with me, there is always a catch.
I hate the economy that underpins this style.
Local RPGs are often produced in smaller quantities than blockbusters. Certainly those that I will present to you, have all had their success. Only, with the law of supply and demand …. rpg on the market are few, so their side increases.
Also, if you are fans like me, do not ask yourself a question. If an RPG goes out in France whether it is located or not, buy it and keep it warm. Because otherwise you risk to hide in some cases.
The presented games are translated and localized therefore those who remain in the language of Shakespeare are absent from the list.
Early 2016: A sacred catalog to update. Prices are generally stable with its share of decline and rise. But as the years go by, it’s really the PS2 that has the largest catalog of European RPGs.
September 2016 : Overall price stability of many items. Decreases are rare but exist but they are still quite reduced, a dozen euros maximum. For hikes, fortunately, they are rare but it always hurts to see a game gaining value of almost 20 euros in six months. We will see what gives the trend next year. See you next March!
March 2017: After 6 months, the trend is to stability for many RPGs on PS2. There are some hikes but they are not spaciated. It only concerns opuses that are already sought after as Shadow Hearts. But in any case, for collectors, it is necessary to even get hold of the purse for some opus.
October 2017: Overall, we are still in the good phase of stability. We turn for most games around 20 to 40 euros. We are still below their initial selling price. It is only for the rarest opus that prices increase but weakly.
And you, find these normal prices? Exaggerated, feel free to leave a comment
