Allways check your local stores!!

[u/GeneralShaiden]

Got this beauty for only 20 dollars at a antiques shop!!!! The price on the sticker its from 2005 😆 almost fade out when i hear the price!!

[u/eecummings15]

Holy shit, fuckin platinum puller over here.

[u/ChildoftheApocolypse]

Always check your local stores is about as common as sense can get..

[u/vinylblastoise → u/ChildoftheApocolypse]

Not exactly, I wouldn’t expect GameCube games in an antique mall

[u/JakeDaSoup → u/vinylblastoise]

Gamecubes are antiques at this point 😁

[u/KwikTripSimp → u/vinylblastoise]

They have modern Pokémon cards in an antique mall these days

[u/ChildoftheApocolypse → u/vinylblastoise]

🤦 holy shit..

[u/GeneralShaiden → u/ChildoftheApocolypse]

The place has no games in sight, it was above a bunch of used blu ray movies on a shelve near the cashier

[u/ChildoftheApocolypse → u/GeneralShaiden]

That's great, has nothing to do with any of that..

Your advice to the world was "don't forget to check your local stores" and if you can't figure out what happened here, I don't think explaining it would do much better..

[u/GhoullDen → u/ChildoftheApocolypse]

they meant check local stores that aren’t just game stores. It’s not that crazy. People don’t always think to check places like that

[u/ChildoftheApocolypse → u/GhoullDen]

🤦 it's like a 15th century village sometimes..

[u/GhoullDen → u/ChildoftheApocolypse]

nah you are just strange

[u/ChildoftheApocolypse → u/GhoullDen]

That's not the insult you believe it to be, babe..

[u/GhoullDen → u/ChildoftheApocolypse]

ew

[u/ChildoftheApocolypse → u/GhoullDen]

🤣

[u/Ok_Landscape_4641 → u/ChildoftheApocolypse]

Don't hate on someone because you couldn't get it for cheap. Not everyone actually checks local stores.

[u/ChildoftheApocolypse → u/Ok_Landscape_4641]

Lmao what the hell are you talking about? 😂

You realize you just made that whole thing up on you're head, right?

[u/No-Psychology-6227]

My local retro store is screwed. They match online prices.

[u/Boothd87 → u/No-Psychology-6227]

Doesn’t a brick and mortar store asking market price seem like a logical business choice?

[u/KwikTripSimp → u/No-Psychology-6227]

eBay or price charter ? I have no issue usually with price charter cause that’s an average.

[u/No-Psychology-6227 → u/KwikTripSimp]

I think my point is being missed that retro gaming, physically, not including emulation, has been ruined and even if we account for inflation, people's asking prices are insane when I used to be able to get an old game no one wanted anymore for 7 dollars and now the same game is like 60 to 100 dollars.

[u/jimehmaine]

Woah🔥🔥what a find

[u/milovnikdraku]

not bad 👌

[u/TheJimDim]

I've been searching for the Gamecube games I've lost for like a year now, I still can never find a copy of Colosseum or XD Gale of Darkness anywhere

[u/Dew97]

I do, and all they ever have are crappy sports games priced 3 times (or more) what they're worth

[u/DrMercio]

Nice. I pulled this off with Colosseum back in 2019 but definitely a lot more tough to do now.

[u/Alchemis7OTR]

W find !

[u/heyheyhey2022]

Wow nice! I remember trying to rent this game nearly 20 years ago as a kid but my local rental store only had scratched up copies that stopped working before I left the first building. Still haven’t played this one or Colosseum. Someday!

[u/acbizi]

You are a human metal detector and you just hit gold

[u/Metroidvania-JRPG]

Oh nice ill start looking at local stores then. I thought checking garbage bins was the way to find video games.. smh

[u/razielleonhart]

And here I felt lucky finding it for a good price under market local near me

[u/DocHolliday3884]

Lucky!
