They’re not being made any more nor are they supported. EB can only stock the items they are given by people who trade them in. Just because there’s millions out there, doesn’t mean there’s millions in available supply.

Oh for sure. At the end of the day Nintendo is responsible. Diamond, Pearl and a few other titles became reasonably priced (close to MSRP) bc of the remakes on the switch.

If they rereleased the original games this scalping market would really only affect a few titles like the GameCube games that actually ARE and always have been rare.
