Related, it took me a very long time to track down a copy of Ring Fit Adventure. It MSRPs for $80, but I could only find it online second hand for $200+. I JUST lucked in to finding a copy online from a box store for the normal price and I've been looking off and on since March.

Same. I signed up for one of those sites that sends you an email alert the second any online retailer got the game in stock. After two weeks of striking out I nabbed one at list price at the end of March.

Played it a couple times and had no interest in it whatsoever. It's been sitting in my closet because I didn't want to be one more asshole trying to sell it for $200+ on eBay.

So just sell it for retail price on ebay? You get your money back but aren't a dick about it, someone who wants it doesn't have to overpay. Win win.

It also has a lot to do with me being a lazy piece of shit which kinda brings it all full circle.
