You can still find deals on retro gaming stuff.
It just takes alot of time and patience.
I find about 2 retro games a month.
Usually for a 1/4 of the price currently trending on e-bay.
This however is nowhere near what it was like a few years ago.
It was alot easier to build a decent collection then.

Is there a fast or easy way to learn what games are rare or expensive as to help my young collecting eye spot such good deals in the wild?

I find myself ebay searching every game I walk by lol, and that gets old...

I don't agree with any of the pricing trends of retro games...
But, this is what the video game shops and the majority of retro game collectors go by.
