rarity and price are usually based on desire by collectors. The collecting market for retro games has been going up lately. I am not sure if it is due to the influx of demand of the physical copies of the games that are on services like VC and PSN/XBLA.
i know that i have several games that i paid really low for over the last few years that have tripled or even quadrupled in their collector value.
I have one in particular that i know would be worth significantly more if i could find the cart. I have the complete case/manual for the game MUSHA but (i think) my brother has the cart.
For just the case/manual will fetch a decent price but I want the complete package in my collection again.
I remember seeing sculpters cut when I was younger at either a Winn dixie or Albertsons back when they did rentals. I've even seen it pretty recently with the box at a local flea market for $10 but shrugged it off. I'll definitely pick it up next time I see it if their going for $100-200 without the box. I don't know why anyone would pay that much for it even in mint condition considering how horrid it is to play it.

At least the vintage instruments I buy can still be used. Of course you could still play the game but cmon.. it ain't worth $1,500.
