This.
It's not out of print. It sold more than 90,000 copies. It is not rare. There will be more, and they'll be a reasonable price. Just like Amiibo and all other artificial Nintendo hype, it'll pass.

Jup I also think the only collectible version of Bayonetta 2 will the first print limited big box version. A beautiful piece if I may say so myself. I tihnk that was one of the few times I bought myself a limited edition in my life.

(uploading a few scans, isp is a prick, irl and that! :P )
yeah, i'm not sure what i can contribute to this one, it's academic, as indicated a few posts up.
can depend where you are irl shops on price gouging, england (north west specifically) is notorious for it, they use EFUCKS as a basic price reference, and it somehow carries weight. (stay armed guys, mob rule wishes to deprive you of your fair gains coz they get shafted on masse, and feel they have stake in yours.)
xeno and pandoras tower for wii are just two examples, not seen irl a retail copy remake of klonoa yet. ???
we're not hard done to, it's a question of knowing the 'right' peoples, the gvt/corps made it this way, exploit it. ;D
the few games scored 'over the counter' was dildod at the register, cooked invoice, as NO 'laws' broken, they only care about TAXES, not what's left to the peasants.
good guys, and if it wasn't for THEM, selling at a mere fraction of the ticket price, those scans wouldn't be here. (three cheers for the impossible crew.) ;D
...
just one observation, yet no matter what the 'speculation' is, a common pattern has emerged globally, and it's down to the individual to deal with it as approached.
in my case, wait like a POS, i don't have the finances, and even if i did, not so sure i would spend blindly, eminent domain can fuck up a persons outlook, and makes them hold onto the little treasures they've earned, with EXTREME prejudice. >:(
ramble. :P

I feel like everyone just trying to find the next EvoBound Whatever, speculating on what game will be rare and they will be able to retire on. It's just annoying for people who just want to buy and play the dam game. As I probably said before, Nintendo became a stock market.

^^ yeah, it's not just chintendo though.
all depends on what it is, regardless of platform.
i can rap off a small list of ps3 games that are extortionate on ebay...
oh wait, i already did, by way of raw scans. (next to nothing/fraction of ticket cost, or free. if i could go back in time to FIND who made it 'it's who you know, NOT what you know' i'll destroy the continuum just to sate my anger on the subject. >:( )
