For PS1?

https://www.pricecharting.com/console/playstation?sort=highest-price&genre-name=all&exclude-variants=true&exclude-hardware=true&when=none&release-date=2024-09-24&show-images=false&in-collection=

95% of games are below $60, and the vast majority of those are below $20.

You might mean "more than I'm willing to pay," but it's a market. There are millions of copies of certain titles, so no one is cornering the market. People are just willing to pay more than you. In the case of PS1, maybe $10-20 more. No one is getting rich from that.
