Is it a potential opportunity to get games at a good price, or is it just expensive? --- End quote --- The "keep" option is the same price as if you were to buy it used from them. The only difference is that the game has to be in your possession to "keep" it. It won't let you buy it until you received it in the mail from them. --- End quote --- I get that part, but if the game isn't for sale (like Megatron's Ys example), is there any way to know what the "keep" price would be? Keep in mind that I'm not a subscriber, so maybe I don't see as much as a subscriber does. For example, is there an option to "keep" Yoshi's Island DS, and if so, how much is it? |

They don't raise the prices because stock is low and (from what I can tell) they do not raise prices to meet current market value. Game values continue to depreciate, I have NEVER seen any actually go up in over 8 years on Gamefly. And to answer your question, members can see the "keep it price" when you look at the page. YOu aren't a member so it probably doesn't show up. But to use your example, Yoshi's Island DS does NOT have a Keep It option, meaning they do not have the stock to sell. This changes and fluctuates over time. Stock comes and goes, like any store. However, if you wanted, say, Yoshi's New Island for 3DS, hte keep it price is listed underneath it at $25.19 |

Yoshi's Island DS is a game I've been looking for recently, but I haven't found it for less then $25 which seems high to me. |

Honestly, Nintendo games keep their values longer than most, although I have picked up some good titles like Mario Galaxy 2 for $17 back a few years ago. However if you look at my post a few days ago (top of page 11), you'll see I bought Transformers for Xbox One and South Park Stick of Truth for about $22 total. So, prices can and will vary. They have a base price, which decreases over time until they sell out, and then they have sale prices where games they have a large stock of will dip into outrageous low prices (i.e.11.99 for Watchdogs PS4, or 8.99 for Stick of Truth) to drive up sales. |
