Title: EBgames is intercourse ing rediculous with their GBA game prices
Post by: Lotos on January 28, 2010, 05:47:14 PM
Used:
$40 for Emerald
$30 for Sapphire
$30 for Ruby with a missing sticker
$20 for Donkey Kong Country 3
I think it was $20 for Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories

I was looking for Yoshi Topsy Turvy, but I have a feeling that would be placed at a high price because of the motion controls.

that's why you buy used games on Amazon instead of going to the stores.

uh guys, gamestop isn't all that bad: my deal thread says hi.

But honestly, If you don't live close to a "Lucky" Gamestop then yes, amazon is your best choice. Luckily, I happen to have an amazing one that sells games like M&L:SS, FF1+2, FF6, and others for 10$; pretty awesome.

I'm too young to buy from Amazon or eBay.  I owe my parents money, so I don't think it's a good idea to ask them to buy it for me until I pay them.  I've been checking GameStop and EB whenever I go to the mall (starting Saturday, I went to a different mall today) to see if they have that game.

Is my local Gamestop incredibly good with GBA prices or something? Used GBA games at it are usually either $5 or $8, sometimes $10 iirc.

My local Gamestop is 75% off sticker price based on what games that they had around last year when they stopped taking GBA games. I bought all of the rare games, but they had no Pokemon.

Chances are those are bootlegs anyway. Gamestops are rife with those.

Even the first party games?

Heck, even brand new games can be significantly cheaper on Amazon compared to places like Gamestop if you play your cards right.  I just preordered Bioshock 2 on Amazon.com for $37.99 compared to the usual $53.69 I would have paid anywhere else.

That's why I use Vintage Stock.
Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations for $9.99, and Phoenix Wright: Justice For All for $14.99.
Pretty good deal if you ask me, since Amazon wants $50+ per game.

Yes. They also tend to sell most used PS2 games for close to $20.
Though, it's only GBA and other old-ish games that have decent prices. I've seen a couple used DS and Wii games that cost more than their new counterparts.
