Decided to give the Nintendo section a bit more love for my rant.
Am I wrong in thinking that wanting more for a game that is over 10 years old than what I paid for a used game for a modern console being quite ridiculous? I just got a very good copy of FF 13-2 for 17 bucks at Gamestop last week. For the past few months I have been looking around trying to get used Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 and nobody wants anything less than 25 bucks. I'm sorry, but I'm not paying 25 dollars for a 10+ year old game that has Sharpie all over it from your bratty children that obviously hasen't been taken care of. I offered the lady 10 dollars due to the fact that last year I got used GBA games from Gamestop that all had save issues. She said she wont take anything less than 25 so I said screw it and dropped on a USB to N64 controller adapter.
The same can be said for used SNES and NES games. I can understand those being a bit higher as they are harder to come by, but I have seen at the minimum 7 adds in my area wanting to sell those 2 particular games (and even other unpopular N64 games) for 25 or more.
