This isn't anything specific to game collecting. I collect public domain and questionable legality video releases of Mexican films and media; i've seen some sets be listed for hundreds of dollars for no reason at all. A very large chunk of these sets retailed for $10 or much, much less, and they were not rare by any means.

I spent six years tracking down a DVD set that only one guy had for sale... for $250. (I ended up grabbing it for $15 on eBay last year.)

TL;DR stupid people will jack up the price if anyone shows a bit of interest at all.
