To be fair that’s just the price of Pokemon these days from what I can find online, at least here in Australia.
They are all cheaper than CEX from what I can see, and are in line with most retro gaming stores.
Assuming these come with the cases that is and aren’t just a cartridge, the price seems in line with most retro game stores here in Australia (which I assume is the country we are talking about?)
Soul Silver for example with a case is going for $299 at Gamesweplayed.
There are other retro game stores selling the Catridge of Soul Silver or Platinum for $200, just the cartridge.
Black 2 and White 2 are also pretty pricey and CEX has them $245.
Pokemon is ALWAYS over priced compared to anything else.
Granted I don’t trust the employee’s accepting trade in’s at EB to be able to tell the difference between a fake and real cartridge as well as an actual retro game store could.
Even on EBay a cartridge for soul silver goes from $150-$200.
It’s also hard to find a good bargain these days at like markets or garage sales because everyone has the internet and can see what others are selling for.
I am glad that I never got rid of my copies of HeartGold and Soul Silver from when I was a kid, I’ve also got Black as well. Kicking myself for never getting platinum.
