So if I bought out a store near me that has like (20) $1 N64 Sports games (some doubles), it's a set price for $7.50?  Could I ship them to you lol?

$150 for Aidyn Chronicles? Now I've seen everything!

Only in a province rich in oil would you find prices so high.

Yup the sad thing is people actually pay these prices. Everytime i come in the manager laughs so are you ever gonna actually spend money here and everytime i say why spend money when i can buy games cheap and sell them for stupid profit.

Canada is just teh pricey.  Luckily it's really easy to exploit his pricing system if you've got a contact in the US who can get the commons for nearly nothing (like 1-5 bucks) that he sells for 30, 40, or 50+ bucks  ;D  I have a small stack of N64 games that I paid roughly 40 bucks for.  They're worth 300 in trade.  That means I could get a copy of Earthbound for 40 bucks, despite their absurd $295 price tag.  That's a deal no matter how you look at it.   That's 2002 Earthbound pricing right there.

I think it's insane, but as long as his system can be exploited, then I don't mind it one bit ;)
