What is up with NES Prices Lately?

What's the deal with NES games skyrocketing over the last month or so? Super Mario/Duck Hunt Carts going for $8 on eBay? Seriously? Mario 3 approaching $20? Legend of Zelda approaching $30? 



Does anyone realize how common these are?

    Ehh so what they are awesome and 8, 20, 30 bucks isn't going to break the bank for anybody. Probably just Xmas gift buys?

    $8 for SMB/DH? Hahaha oh god. I remember when they were almost literally worthless. Given the game and how everybody who has owned a NES for more than 5 years probably already has a copy, I think it is pretty clear that most of the higher-priced sales of the game are to new NES owners.

    Its approaching Christmas. There is always an inflation this time of year.

    It's just the popular games and people selling them for Xmas. DKOldies is offering $23 per Super Mario 2 cart right now on his site, I sent him a couple this week myself!

    I believe it is the phenomena labeled "Christmas". These prices will stay or even rise (due to the rumored tax season ahead) until around September of next year.
